8/ Lift the front up and pull it forward.

15/ Now locked, cam down (handle up). You will have to look closely to even notice the difference in the photo.

Refitting is the same but in reverse as Mr Haynes would say.
18/ The four guide plates should be put in making sure they go back into the slots and the curved position goes under the mechanism bar.

21/ Do the same the opposite side.

23/ Push clips into the square holes and squeeze with forefinger and thumb until it snaps home.
![](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3108/3167238127_411d23411e_o.jpg) 24/ Refit the surround BUT do not over tighten the screw as you will split the trim.
![](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3265/3168071342_39a16b7c0d_o.jpg) 25/ View from inside, all that is left is to refit the beading.
