Outside door handle install 82 Spider

[ylbill]

Not sure if this is where to post this question. I had to remove my outside door handle because of lock issues. It wasn't bad getting it off, but I'm having problems getting it back together. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with this and or maybe had a trick of the trade technique? It's pretty tight working and I can't seem to hold everything where it needs to be and screw in the lock linkage. Thanks in advance for any help.
