Thaks to Dave, I have a new star wheel for my door latch. I got the latch back together tonight. It has been hot tanked and is cleaned and lubed. It works smooth as silk until you use the lock mechanism. After you slide the lock back to the unlocked position, the latch mechanism is stuck and takes one heck of a crack to get it working again. After that it's smooth as silk again, until you move the lock mechanism into the locked position and back to the unlocked position. I am afraid that if I put it in the door like this and lock it, I will end up bending a door rod after it is unlocked trying to open it! Suggestions? I don't see any obvious binding. Anybody ever have this problem? Thanks Todd 58 Belvedere Sport Sedan with a drivers door that is stripped, meaning I can't drive her (and that's frustrating, now that the weather is warm here in Ontario!)
