Guys bear with me here cause my way is weird but it worked too well to not post. Mine is a new purchase, so no screws (all plastic clips etc). The yellow handle locks in because of the four quadrants that have a lip. I put a metal shirt collar stiffener (I told you this is weird. Tyrwitt shirts have them), between the handle and the hole, in each quadrant. I had to pull the handle in opposite directions from where I was putting the metal bit to make some space. But it was easy enough, no tools used. Each went in by about half centimeter. Once the 4 stiffeners were in, I pulled out the handle which popped out with no big effort. I stayed still looking at the handle in disbelief for about 2 minutes. I then posted this. Not sure if my explanation is clear enough but I hope it is cause this was really annoying me ..
