205 Cj - Stuck Passenger Door

[analog_addict 1]

My passenger door has been stuck for a few weeks now. No amount of force will open the lock. I have removed the door card but I'm not sure exactly what to do. I've tried forcing the internals but again I can't get it to unlock.

 

The key only turns a few mm in the lock and the lock inside only pushes up a few mm as well.

 

I have attached some pictures of the inside of the lock. Could someone advise me on exactly what to do with which parts?

it is unlikely to be the lock or the latch at all, but the handle itself, there's a pivot on the back of it which seizes up, douse it in penetrating oil and give it a good wiggle up and down, it should spring down by itself.
