Once I remove the plates, is there some other trick to getting these handles out? The 'return' on the side of the door (is that the right word? Where the lock and latch come out) wouldn't come out for love or money and at one point it bent a bit and the latch got stuck, but I was able to straighten it out.
I know I need to drill out the screws holding the plates on, as they're old, soft and easily stripped. But, once I get all the screws out, is there something else? Do I need to bash it with a hammer?

Thanks
