I’m helping SB914 get his passenger door handle to work. The interior pull works fine; the exterior pull will not work unless I push in on the door first.
Took the handle out; it’s ok There’s not a lot of adjustment for the mechanism and i’m Trying to not remove it. Anyone else had this problem ? Attached image(s)

The latch portion in the door needs a DEEP clean. I use old school carb dip tank solution in my air powered rattler. Then get PB Blaster into the pivot shaft. Once you get the shaft freed up and lubed it will be better magical.

Even lock, unlock with the key is easy and smooth. |
