Replacing the driver's door handle on my son's 2000 Honda Accord LX. The only video on Youtube is pretty much a video of the back of the guy's head.
I go this off the back of the lock in disassembly. Can't get it back on. The pimply faced youth at Advance sold me snap ring pliers (which don't work because it's not a snap ring). Help.  It fits around a plastic insert that's an incomplete circle and the two wings slip over the ends of the plastic. Can't find the tool because I don't know what it's called and the Honda parts schematic doesn't sow it (I think it comes with the lock cylinder). |

The spring is called a "Hinge End Torsion Spring" Can you not use a pair or needle nose or other long nose pliers to pinch the two "legs" to get in into place? |

Take a pair of 90 deg needle-nose piers and grab 1 end.
Pull down and lift that leg out. Repeat on the other leg. You'll have more fun putting it back in. |

That is the spring that returns the cylinder and key to center after you turn it.
You may just need to slide it over the end of the cylinder with no tools required. Post pics of the cylinder and the plastic piece. |

Something like that almost always needs a couple of bandaids and a dab of alcohol.

Cock ring. I suggest a rubber replacement. If there's an incident and the pictured one needs cut off -- yikes.
