While replacing my door panels I noticed that one of the door handles has no spring action when in use. Upon placing them side by side, I could see that the spring on one is actually installed backwards, so that the locking end is not in the correct position to tuck into the handle. Can anyone tell me how to take the handle apart to turn the spring around and lock it in?

Thanks guys. :grin:

Came back to delete this, but could not find a way.

Found the problem...the spring is supposed to have a tag end at each end to lock it in place. The problem door handle spring has one end broken off.

Please disregard my question.

Thank you.
