yeah, its easy.  You can just get another handle at the junkyard.  Look at
the pivot, its a hollow tube with clips, get one clip off, slide the tube
out...viola, handle is off.

just be frickin glad it was the handle that broke...I had the tab the
holds the "toothed" part in place snap off...thats part of the bracket
that is spot welded to the floor...man that was a pain.
