im going to have to remove the latch anyway because now it doesnt even lock the mechanism. doesnt seem to turn all the way however. when i have it out ill take a couple hours with a screwdriver and work it back and fourth to break it in, ill probably squirt some valve grinding compound in there to speed up the process a little. if all else fails OEM it is!
and before i re assemble ill use anti seize as a lube. the grease didnt hold up very well.
