Leif.........if the TR4 is like the Spit, then there should be a tiny
holding pin inserted into door handle....through the little hole on the
winding mechanism shaft. I don't want to scare you about
this..........BUT..........if my memory serves me correctly (for a change)
it was an absolute PIG of a job to do. Really touchy to get pin inserted
back to original postion. Stick with it and maybe (must) get a scecond
person to help. I believe I borrowed a friend's door clip holder tool to
help with the task.
 I dunno for some reason............this dinky assed job caused me a bit o
grief.:((
