Tailgate handle

[pedro]

G'day all, would anyone know how to pull a wagon tailgate handle/lock to pieces, I need to get mine rechromed but can't get it apart and there is no reference to it in the manual and no exploded view in the parts catalogue.

There is a small pin pressed in near the lock slide. Use a pin punch to remove it and the whole lot comes apart.

Thanks Brett and Ken, knocking out the pin worked, so simple when you know how, definitely a lot easier than drilling out all the rivets and dismantling 1/4 windows to make up a good set to rechrome.
