How to remove a door handle spindle?

Hi, can't for the life work out how to remove spindle on a Gainsborough privacy set. I'm looking for a small button to depress but this spindle does not appear to have one.

 

I do not know what series this set is

Re: how do I remove a spindle from Gainsborough privacy set

Hi @markge,

 

Can you please show us the otherside so we can compare? It appears that the spindle pulls out in that direction as it is crimped which wouldn't allow it to push through. I suspect there would be something on the otherside not pictured, which needs to be released so the spindle can be pulled out.

 

You mentioned previously that there was a detent that depresses on this spindle and the new one, and that was the information I was providing above. In your image, I don't see any detent or ball bearing that can be depressed.
