How to remove sliding door handle?

[D@VEY]

How to remove sliding door handle? i have take the inner handle off given it a good tap with a hammer and no movement?
Is there a clip elsewhere that needs to be removed?
cheers

should just pull out mate no clips

yeah,robins is right. just be carefull though if you decide to tap it out as its soft metal. I damged the end of the square shaft where the inner handle screws in & had to have it re threaded. I suggest putting the inner handle screw back in on its own,screwing it right down then tapping the head of the screw with a rubber mallet or wooden block.mine was a snug fit & just neede a bit of 'persuasion'

Thanks for the help gave it a really good wack with the hammer no joy
everyone sure nothing else to take off apart from the interior handle?

yep,should come out,mine took a good whacking,hence the damage...have you given it a good soak with penetrating fluid (WD-40 etc) between the shaft & collar? if still no joy,try heating up the surrounding mechanism G E N T L Y with a pencil torch or the like while you tap,as the collar heats & expands it may just loosen the grip on the square shaft.

If I remember rightly you have to put the key into the lock first.
