A neighbor's Montana 2740 compact tractor snapped off the loader valve handle... drill it out and tap it to 5/16" thread and used a new piece of all thread to get it working.
My son continues to bring home reading books for homework that are paperbacks with pages falling out. PLEASE DO NOT USE Scotch Tape!!! Best thing to do, unfold/uncrease the pages as best as possible and use a SMALL amount of Elmer's glue along the spine to set each page that's fallen out back in, then rejoin the outside cover/spine with a strip of clear packing tape.
Door handle break on a 2013 Nissan Pathfinder like our did in the recent snow? Pull on it and it doesn't spring return and just flops around. Don't send it to the dealer for a $115 evaluation fee + repairs. Get a Philips screwdriver, metric socket, and plastic automotive pry tools...
The small plate behind the chromed (PLASTIC!!!) door handle pops out from the hinge side, remove the screw there.
Pop out the kickplate light in the bottom of the door panel, disconnect the light.
Pop out the window/lock controller from the armrest, disconnect the three plugs there.
Pull the door panel free of the door starting from the bottom near the hinge side/speaker, work across the bottom and up the latch side. The top corner near the side mirror is a hook that the panel hangs on. Disconnect the plug going to the seat memory controls.
Disconnect the door handle from the panel with 3 screws.
Disconnect the door lock and latch cables from the BROKEN handle.
Install the new handle part from your local Nissan dealer for ~$15.
Re-install everything in reverse order.
THE CATCH IS KNOWING WHERE TO PRY TO REMOVE THE FIRST TWO COVERS. The service manual just says "remove the escutcheon using a suitable tool". What the heck is an "escutcheon" anyway!!
p.s. Surpirse, the door handle has been redesigned to strengthen the door opener catch for the cable, just where ours broke!
