You'll need to bend over three (as I recall - three) tabs and remove the plate from the mechanism. You really need to heat the tab up red hot and bend it while still hot. Otherwise, it is most likely to break off.
Inside the mechanism, the springs are held in place by pretty much the same method as described earlier. R&R.
Did you get the spring for the remote latch? As long as "you're in there" I strongly suggest you replace that one too.
