Removing the Door Latch Shaft from the Door Lock Mechanism
Tip: It is easier and more reliable to remove the shaft from the door lock mechanism then to attempt to
reinsert the shaft into the door and replace the handle while the shaft is still captive in the door
lock.
1. Remove the cover (not shown) from the door lock mechanism ( Figure 6 ).
2. Using a screwdriver, push down the door lock slider pin ( Figure 6 ) and rotate the shaft
( Figure 7 ) counterclockwise to remove it from the lock mechanism.
