Darrell,
Try placing the pin in the hole of the handle and have it slightly protrude
into the shaft hole in the handle before slipping it onto the shaft. With
one hand holding the panel back against the spring and with a finger from
the other hand on the end of the pin as you install the handle you'll feel
the pin drop into the hole in the shaft. Once there use something larger
than the pin to push it through the shaft. Bob's your Uncle.
