Door Latch Assembly Lock Mech Spring Problem!!

[toofun]

I have a problem with my door lock. If I push down on it it locks the door but then when I go to push the door button on the outside or pull the door latch on the inside it does nothing to open the door. Like it is pushing against air. When I try to pull the door knob up it goes up and down but will not unlock the drivers side door. I got the inside door panel off without ripping it from the inside and was able to jimmy the door open. Upon inspection I found that the door lock latch was not returning back to its position.

I looked on the bottom of the door and found that the DOOR LOCK MECH SPRING was broken in two. So I bought a new one from Ricks. Now my question is where does it go and how do I install it? Does anyone have a close up picture anywhere? I cannot find one? Also am I better off removing the WHOLE DOOR LATCH ASSEMBLY? and if so how do I go about doing it? Little parts can be such a BIG PAIN!! Any help would be greatly appreciated.



Thanks In advance.
