For some reason the handle on the side door of my f600 is incredibly difficult to move this year. I have to use all my weight to move it. Any suggestions on how to loosen this up?
 
Still have the manual? Usually there's a section on handle adjustment.
If you pull it apart, use some anti-seize compound to make the NEXT disassembly easier.
 
Prob just got some crud or creosote along the shaft of the latch bolt going through. Some penetrating oil should clear it up... Don't force it, it can break.
