pull the metal/plastic trim off the handle, theres a screw at the front.  Theres another in the end of the door, then the handle will come off :)
Make sure you give all the moving parts a generous coating of thick grease, to ensure smooth operation :)

All done, although my back boot seems to not be the same as the one I bought to replace it.

The entire lock mech is a component unlike the boot on mine which appears to have the lock embedded into it.

How do I do this?
