Anyone who has disassembled engine lid handle and can give me some tips on how to avoid damaging it?
Also wonder if the doorhandles on a 51 should have 29 in partsnumber or 211? Thought a 51 should have 29

I believe a 211 p/n handle has the later (54-63) key, but works fine.
I believe the 29 p/n handle has the earlier key.

The tiny set screw for the key cylinder can be very stuck. Maybe soak it in penetrating oil for a month or so.
