    Hey Pedro, ask Ray to show you the door handles! There's a really easy way to do it and I'm sure it'll be too hard to understand my typing but i'll try

    For drivers door all you need to do to get it out is unscrew it as usual, then slide the whole handle towards the front of the car, give the lock a turn to the right and pull it out. the little tab will be clear of the latch it gets locked into so it'll slide right out.
    And of course, to get it back in you basically have to put the door handle back in, and when it comes to turning the key turn it fully right push it in and let the latch hook on (you'll feel the difference after, it'll activate your door lock/unlock)

    You need an alan key, the lock is held in by 1 alan bolt, located where the door locks on the chasis.

    Is it the "hook" that snaped ?? I am sure you can just replace that, but I got my kit from Tooleys Imports came with the complete "barrel", spring and hook.
