W126 Drivers door lock stuck

[2hayden2]

Hello everybody,

I am trying to remove the exterior handle on the drivers door from my w126 (300sd) in order to check on why the lock wont move left or right when i put the key in. I've unscrewed the phillips head in the door jam. I've read that the next step is to turn the key in the lock to remove it, however, of course this will not work because that is the problem with the lock. What other routes can I take to remove it?
