Thanks for the pictures. I sure wish I could get mine out. I've tried penetrating oil multiple times, a brass drift, a steel punch, and plenty of elbow grease and this sucker ain't coming out. It will move about 1/16-1/8" in and out so it doesn't seem like its bound. I wouldn't be so worried about it except it is the original door handle and I have the original key that works perfectly in the lock. All I want to do is replace the broken spring on the latch. Can I do that without taking out the door handle?
