Default Well accomplished the near impossible replacing the broken lever in the door lock...

Many thanks to Joe Marconi for his sage advice and tips.
Every thing came off as he said it would. It went back in faster than it came off. Found some spacers at the bottom of the door and black rubber cushion pieces that fit at bottom of the door card. The circlip that holds the lever and keeps the whole shebang in place was a biatch to put back on and hold in place while installing the new lever..once more.. Thanks Joe.... Tricky but it takes patience. Word of caution...the 93 & on 90 sedan lever and circlip WILL NOT FIT on CQ tumblers. It may look nice and updated...BUT WILL NOT work. I tried for 2 hours to get it to work! The new levers are too thick and you can not use the updated circlip or the OEM off the CQ to hold it. Sorry CV, it just does not fit. The door glass now fits snugger and the lock now works. Whoooo-Hooo!
I could probably do this entire in an hour or less now.

Default the B4 pieces work if you use a B4 lock cylinder.

Then you can use the updated stronger lever.
It's what's in my car.
