Has anyone had to remove a door lock assembly while the door is shut. I believe the only way to remove it is to drill out the bolts from inside the door. Am I right, or is there another way, and will drilling it out work? The hook which hold the door shut will not release, I've heard of early generation accords having this problem but not 6th gens. Honda wants a lot of money to do this job and I'm trying to not go broke. Please see my thread which explains the whole problem. This is definitely a question for someone who works on these cars for a living. Thanks guys.
