In all my years I've never seen this! Anyway, I finally got
the old
doorknob off. It was a struggle from both inside and
outside. And yes,
there are a lot of plastic parts in there. But the culprit
was the thing
that goes into the door jam had broken off the rest of the
mechanism and
I had a hard time getting it out of there. I just whacked
and twisted
all the pieces trying to break them into smaller pieces that
would pull
through the knob opening.
