    Ok guys. Never had this happen. So i had a chassis. I pull the handle and the pin goes in like butter. Heres my issue. The frickin handle will not stay put. Rather than lock in place it goes back so the pin is re-engaged. What can i do about this. I grabbed my pliers and no good. There has to be a way around this. Luckily it was empty so i looked for a different one. But what if it was loaded. Id be screwed if it was heavy

    Pull out the handle all the way out, vice grips the very end of the bar. The bar wants to retract back but can't because the vice grip is holding it.

    It's like taking out your dip stick all the way and clipping the end and trying to put it back with the vice grip on.
