Can you be more specific about which nuts / bolts you can't undo?
Remove the screw at the back of the the spindle (inside the door) and you can withdraw the handle
Remove the 2 screws above and below the handle and the chome surround will come off.

i have took the 2 screws on the outside of and the one on the inside but it will not come out

You can try and soak the spindle /lock with penetrating oil, but dont hold your breath. I ended up sawing between the lock and door to get handle off. Tried to hammer the spindle out with 4lb club and drift but ended up drilling spindle out.

Good Luck.

I got mine out by heating it with a small flame (seems to break to seal). B careful of the wood tho!
