I'm still trying to determine if the engine in my M38A1 will "unstick". There is something else on the Jeep that is driving me crazy. The outside door handle on the Kelly steel cab door, drivers side , is on backwards so it extends toward the rear of the vehicle. The passengers side is on correctly. I can't figure out how to remove the handle to turn it around. The end of the square shaft is visable on the inside but I can see no attachment method. Can anyone help, please ? Thanks.

I figured out that the inner panel had to be removed to remove the outside handle. That meant drilling out the rivets holding the panel on.Thanks.
