Trying to fix the drooping handle on the drivers door on my '48 3800 and found the previous spring had broken and can't seem to get the replacement to go in because it's so stiff. Any helpful hints?

CBall,

Take a look through this thread from a while back.

It has some helpful hints and pics on how to resolve the sagging door handle dilemma (and related questions).

Hopefully it will help you in this task.
