Some erroneous information has been given on changing out the lock plug on
the slider handles.  It is NOT retained by a roll pin as are the front
handles.  There is a small set screw in the shoulder of the handle which
must be removed.  It is frequently not seen, as it is slightly recessed and
resembles a spot of dirt.  Upon removal, there is a spring at the bottom
that returns the lock to center.  This must be correctly positioned.  Be
sure to use some medium strength lok-tite on the set screw upon
re-installation.  Don't over-tighten the screw.  I'd also clean the lock
with carb cleaner and re-lubricate it before installation.
