    It should be that as you move the locking handle round ( from locked to unlocked, or vice versa ), it gets gradually easier to about half way, then tries to pull itself all the way to the other end. If it's doing that, then it's probably OK.
    Imagine the internal locking handle is connected to an upside-down pendulum.

    If you do take it apart, get another photo.:)

    Aargh - saw this too late but I'm pretty sure now that I've got it back correctly. The only trouble is, it was all greasy inside and, with so much fiddling, the grease is now all over me and it is dry inside. Ah well, I guess it will work till it seizes up. I'm loath to take it apart again, I needed about four pair of hands to hold all the springs in position. :rotfl:

    Thanks again guys for your help.

    I'm sure it will be fine for years . . . and years.
