10. Remove screws from door panel (panel does not have to total be removed.)
11. Slide panel away from door lock handle, the handle will need to be straighten.
12. Handle has been twisted into a vertical and must be straightened to horizontal. Be careful bending the handle as you could break the lock handle.
13. The 4 tabs on the escutcheon will need to be aligned so as to give movement to the door lock.
13. Cut a small slit at each tab.

15. Bend the tab over the oval.
