Theres a horseshoe shaped clip that holds the lock in the door. It can be removed with a screw driver or needle nose pliers. The linkage is held on with a plastic clip, to remove it push it off the rod, then pull the rod out of the hole. To reinstall it put the rod in the hole and rotate the clip until you can snap it back on the rod.
Thats the best I can explain it.
