Toyota Door Stuck Wont Open From Inside Or Outside, Lock Stuck & Lock Rebuild

This video shows the door lock latch for a 1998 Toyota Camry, though it might give a reference for other models as well. I show how it operates and tell how to open a car door that is stuck shut. I also show common failure points and how to rebuild the mechanism because parts are hard to find.
