[TR] TR6 Inside Door Handle Installation

[Jerry Van Vlack]

Darrell,

Try placing the pin in the hole of the handle and have it slightly protrude 
into the shaft hole in the handle before slipping it onto the shaft. With 
one hand holding the panel back against the spring and with a finger from 
the other hand on the end of the pin as you install the handle you'll feel 
the pin drop into the hole in the shaft. Once there use something larger 
than the pin to push it through the shaft. Bob's your Uncle.
