Thanks i tried everything last night it doesn't slide because rod goes through clip which is on that rectangle pc of linkage should have been a quick little job ,think i mixed up rh and rod

This one?

There's a rectangular one in there, latch to key lock, that just slides back about 1.5x the diameter of the rod and the rod lifts out, clip stays on the linkage. You have to lift it up at the front, to clear the lock tab, and then slide back.

Or either of these ...

They all seem to work the same ... you pry up one side to disengage the locking tab. When I took mine apart I was in there with a small screwdriver at times.
