98 V70 T5 driver door lock not working

98 V 70 T5

The other day I tried unlocking the driver via key remote. The lock made a jackhammer sound and the button did not pop up and the door remained locked. Do I need to replace the entire lock? How easy is it to open the door panel?

Those door latches are downright evil.

Take a look through this:
