Hello,
Found this wonderful forum a little while back while starting the hunt for a woodburner for our cabin.
A Fisher Baby Bear has made its way into the garage. It needs some love which I am happy to give it.
Most pressing issue is the handle is stuck down. Not having much luck freeing it up. I’m getting enough pressure on it to start bending things and back off at that point.
Previous owner jerry rigged the spring to keep the door closed.
Any tips to loosen this handle off?
Should it be able to rotate 360 degrees?
Should I be working it counter or clockwise?
Currently soaking in penetrating lube around the little washers on either end.
