I know this has been covered at some length in the forum, but I'm a little unclear about the pin replacement.
First of all, I am a complete DIY numpty, but I'm trying to change that ... fed up paying for something I should know how to do myself. With your help, who knows, I may even become a 'proper' man. :lol:
So, using the brute strength, just rip it off method I have removed the door card, trim and torx screws to reveal the rather complicated looking lock/operating assembly.
According to the 'Paynes' manual :whistle: I can see the two rods I need to unclip (marking first of course) and the two torx bolts holding the handle in place.
I assume once I have undone them the handle comes off?
The next bit is really unclear to me .... can anyone describe to me in plain (or even simpler) English what happens next? I think I just need to pull the knackered pin out and replace it with the new one. Lets hope it's that simple.
I tell you what, if you help me out, I'll do a photo tutorial for the forum.
