Thanks Steve, that's what I intend to do.

To remove the tumbler - I access it from the 'rear' panel of the door right? (the portion normally hidden when door is closed). There's a large black rubber grommet there that I remove to get access to it, correct? Any tips? I'll be tackling the job tonight or tomorrow...thx!!!
