Being a toddler would help a lot of the time. Smaller hands.

I thought it was pretty easy to get in there and get it out. not sure how the second gen doors are, but there is quite a large opening in the first gen doors to get your hands in there

If you're going to take apart the old lock, couldn't you just clean it up and lube it instead of buying a different one?

well,i wish i could. if i stick the key in my lock now,it doesnt turn. ive tried every lube you could think of. so,either i spend 30 on 2 locks,or like 3.00 on 1 and have 2 keys. im cheap. u figure it out LOL
