Hi Tim.This is a tricky operation because the handle on your Tudor has probably been in there for years and it's stuck. Get out your WD-40 and try spraying from the outside.If you have the door panel removed, you can probably also hit it from that side. Then, let it soak for a day or two (spray again if you want in between.)Try to remove it again.Remember, turn the handle about 1/4 turn and gently pull away from the door.Rock it up and down slightly too. Be persistent but don't rush this - you don't want to break off the shaft into the latch mechanism. |
