Its been a loooong time since I had my 46 so I'm basically stabbing in the dark.... but trying to help. Besides, it bumps you back to the top!

I appreciate that you're trying to help but that's not correct. The spring was on the door handle check link, and I want to know how it installs. I'm sure that it is to keep the inside DOOR HANDLE returning and to keep it from over-centering, but I'm not sure exactly how it goes in there.

Because the seller of the spring sells offshore parts that don't always fit or install right, and I figured someone over here would be wiser.

Thanks for the replies guys, I'll just order the springs and figure it out myself.
