Is it truly the springs or is the "square hole" the handle goes through worn in one corner. IF it is you will have to build up that spot or do as someone here once said......they put the handle in a vice, heated it with a torch and "bent" it up some. Problem solved!!?? Just idea's Partzpllr, trying to help!! | | | | | Joined: Mar 2000 Posts: 784 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2000 Posts: 784 | I think my 46 is the same as your 40. I have a couple of pictures of the new springs and where they go on the latch assembly.
If you want them I can email them to you.
