Try this
I had to use 2 tools at the same time.
Use a flat blade chisel and place it against a piece of the door skin.
The use another flat blade screw driver, place the screw driver betweet the chisel and the spring tab on the lock retainer.
Then twist the screw drive and it should push the retainer out of its slot. Do not pry it all of the wat. The take long needle nose pliers and get it the rest of the way.
