Removing old door carrier..keeps getting stuck at door lock lever!

[babyduke]

Ok, I'm done with everything and just have to remove the old door carrier and replace with a new one. Problem is I loosened it off of the door and released mounting clip and the ball clip but I can't seem to take it out from the inside the door. I've turned and tried every angle possible but it's always getting caught at the locking lever.

I've gotten this far and it would be so disappointing to take it to the shop when 90% is done already and I've spent countless hours.

Please help!
