check if the handle has a roll pin broken or its just a set-screw loose..
now use a pair of pliers, pull the handle and with the pliers turn the shaft...

thats not the prob... the handle and the shaft are now sitting in the passanger seat with nothing else attached to it.. i need to know how to get it back in (attached) so that i can pass an inspection... would it just be best to go to a junk yard and get a new (used) one?
