Removing the mechanism



Once the handle is off, your free to take the mechanism out. Start by peeling back the protective cover so you can see the access holes and bolts (mines totally gone for convenience)

There are 2 plastic brackets that need moving and removing. Take the top one off first, held in with a clip and 2 10mm nuts. On the 2nd bracket, loosen the bottom nut/screw first (carefully) and remove the top nut, also 10mm. Remove the clip holding he wires nearest to the brackets

Now remove the handle. Unclip the rod and move it. The handle is held with 2 10mm nuts and a 10mm bolt
