Since the release lever is spring loaded, it may require a firm push.

Do not over-power the tool. It may deform or cause damage to the door lock linkages.
^
If the door lock assembly is heavily corroded, soak the rear door lock assembly through the access hole with spray-on penetrating oil for a few
minutes to facilitate the movement of the release lever.
5.
Once the door is opened, it will allow the removal of the interior door panel. Follow the procedures outlined in the appropriate published
Workshop Manual for removing the door panel and replacing the rusted rear door lock assembly.
6.
If the old door lock assembly was heavily corroded due to water intrusion, inspect the outer waist seal between the fixed door window glass and
the exterior door panel for excessive clearance.
7.
If necessary, remove the seal and apply room temperature vulcanizing (RTV) rubber sealant to seal the gap, then reinstall the seal.
8.
When installing a new rear door lock assembly, apply a coat of lithium grease (or spray type) to prevent future corrosion.
