[Healeys] Fwd: Re: Interior door handle removal BN7

[john spaur]

The spring has a high side and a low side. Because of this, it is 
easier to see the pin hole and remove it if the low side is towards 
one of the pin holes. You might need to use a nail about the size of 
the pin instead of an awl. You can make a new pin from a nail too.
