How to remove lock mechanism

Hey guys I just purchased an electric blue 02 S, I got it with the drivers door in a stuck position. I have done a lot of searching on the matter and all the directions I see are with the door open to remove the lock mech. Well the door panel is off I have access to the back side of the mechanism but cannot manually open the door? What are my options here? Thanks in advance!

So you're unable to open the door from the inside or outside handle?

Make sure the bowden cable isn't stretched or has come undone. This individual couldn't get the door opened and was able to open the door by doing this: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...de-or-out.html. See if that helps.

My door panel is off and I have pushed, pulled, cables on both sides and on the unit it self to no avail. Surely there is someway to manually fail safe open this door!
