Thanks for taking the time to Fix the clutch in Leroy Brendan.
FWIW I would only install a new door handle hinge assembly,
If using a used part you wouldnt be the first to tell of having to do the job twice.
Also then make sure to lubricate the mechanism inside the door prior to putting it back together.

I'm not some random guy asking how to change the oil on yahoo answers. Do you see the join date on my posts? I don't know everything, but I sure as hell know there is something askew with you and your awareness of who you are responding to when you post on here.
Just strange. Really Really strange. Lubricate the mechanism. Yeah, and I'll be sure to use the metric sockets too.
I am sure someone will rag me on this but its a gut feeling for me. And I stick with those.

Brendan sorry if you feel slighted thats not my intention.
a simple thanks would leave you with a smile on your face,
try it in front of a mirror.
Anyhow you would be amazed at all of the other people that might be following along here,
and little tidbits of info can make someone else`s job easier.

Stan answers anyone's questions in a way that is intended to enter the huge body of knowledge that will be searched by others. I go to Dwayne and a few other members for DIY guides. But when I do a search I am amazed how often Stan's posts are the ones that provide the answers.

Actually....I have done the handle hinge replacement job four or five times (different doors, I think), and I have never particularly worried about lubrication of the hinge assembly. Perhaps the actual latch mechanism? But in that case it is usually as much a case of washing the dust, leaves, primer dust etc that accumulates in a mechanism like that over 30 years than actual lubrication. I think the best course if it looks messy is to pull the whole mechanism out and take to the solvent tank for a real cleaning.

Something else Let go on Leeroy today. I have to stop saying how reliable this car is. Its been towed a few times now.
The Proper torque was used on the collar between the TT shaft and the short shaft. If that is what let loose that means that the torque wasn't real, the welds came apart on the collar blocks, etc.
If that is NOT what let loose, then it may be the transmission. Which would be very bad.
I am hoping its just a matter of old pieces. I have other collars and other short shafts. Of course that means removing the clutch again. ****.
