Its been a while since I had one of the door latches apart but I think it was relatively simple if I remember correctly. BUT sometimes the problem is not the spring but the "square" hole the handle fits in gets "rounded" out some.
If the square hole is the problem I have read over the years that some guys "weld" the holes up some and then file them back out. One guy put his handle in a vice, heated it up and BENT the handle.
Don't be afraid to tackle it. I hate taking it out more than I do working on them!! | | |
