changing t-loc handle

[skinee]

i would like to put a different colour handle on some tanos t-locs,can they be changed?,i had a look but can not see any obvious hinge pin that could be removed and am afraid of damaging the existing handle/tloc by 'investigating' too hard,i seem to remember someone doing it on a classic systainer but i'm not sure

open the lid.

use needle nose pliers and give it a squeeze.  Lift the handle at the same time and it will pop right off!

just push down the new color T-loc.

OKAY!!

I jumped the gun on this.    He wanted to change the HANDLE.    Not the latch.     

I need to pay more attention to some of the post.    [embarassed]

yes the handle,thanks for trying anyway eric

Just take a screw driver and pry back on the HANDLE!

it pops right off.

With the handle flat,  the latch facing you, stick the screwdriver between the handle and the lid.  Pry the screwdriver toward you and the handle will come loose.
