Thanks all for the post above. I got the back door apart as advertised above but I was unable to drill the correct hole at the correct angle. I also tried to counter sink for the screw head but the hard plastic pulled the drill into the part thus increasing the diameter size. No matter I recovered from this only to find that the nut backing the bolt would catch on the inside of the lever when working the pull.
Here’s to all the machinist out there, looks like I’m out $90 bucks for the handle but net ahead $300 for service.
