Hi,
I am swapping in some metal door handles, 2 have cracks in the plastic at the bottom near the pin. Am I safer using super-glue or do they come apart without damage pressing the pin out ? This would be my preferred option, has anyone done this with success, or did they break ? Regards 96ELGli

Hi,
Thanks for the reply Guys, I didnt want to break the good parts I have. Sometimes plastic goes very brittle with age so I thought I would ask. I figured someone would have found out. Thanks, 96ELGli

If your patient you can just used a small phillips head screw driver and wd40 to push the pins out. I just did it and it took a little time but I felt I had a little more control of the force being applied

i used a small phillips head screw driver and pushed down on the handle on a bench top to get mine out, worked well and came out smoothly, just take note of what way the spring comes out.
