Just completed replacing the broken door handle on the left side using the write-ups available elsewhere (see attached pdf). Was a bit of a PITA, but not too bad - took my time, no rush. I did have a few breakthroughs I though I'd share (see pic below):
1) Built a chute using that pink foam rubber (could be cardboard) and blue tape to direct dropped hardware out the door, instead of down into the door.
2) To get that inner handle screw started, I took a flat blade screwdriver that would fit thru that bracket hole, wrapped it in some blue tape so the cap screw would stick on it and actually screwed it in to near tight using the screwdriver - followed up with the right angle hex wrench. Worked great, but took me a bit of time to develop the approach. Perhaps a ball end hex wrench would work too, but I don't have any.
Everything works as it should and no parts left over!
