My own door handle is pretty stiff, can someone point me in the direction of the up-grade repair item mentioned in first post?

Thanks

I have finally managed to remove the drivers door handle and have the STC3064G door handle cam kit. I know this has been discussed before but how do you actually remove the old cam from the handle - it's seems to be held in place by a hollow pin but how do you slide the pin out.
My best idea so far is very carefully with a dremel - cut away the old parts but there must be a better way.
Thanks very much

This is the only part that fails when handle gets stiff or?

Again, guys, any other parts I might need upon dismantling, prefer to get it fixed in one evening

Ok, but within the handle mechanism itself?

I went about doing the cam kit fitting. However on removing the door handle I snapped off the door lock tab. This part is not available as a spare and as replacement handles are scarce and expensive - sh or new.
I set about making a replacement part,
I rounded the end of the barrel stem where the tab was, Then I drilled an M12 nut with a 12mm drill. I then welded a a steel tab to the nut. This fits over the rounded stem and is cross drilled to take a roll pin or steel pin.
It worked OK for me anyway.
