I need to remove the exterior door handle from my crv but it is very difficult with the lock assembly being there.... any help is appreciated. it is an 04 crv

 

i still dont know what your talking about... i cant get to the 10mm bolt because something is in the way. here is a picture form inside the door.

I already took a c-clip off the lock cylinder itself. but now im stumped.

 

I got it out. i had to remove that brownish/gray thing at the end of the lock cylinder. there was another clip that was hard as hell to get to.
