How to replace an handle on a triple rutgerson rope clutch RC 750

[cvge]

is there somebody that had replaced a central handle on this triple clutch?
I have the clutch removed from my 34' Bav boat deck but now I wonder: is to be completely dismantled? or can I remove the handles shaft without open the cluth? there is the real risk that later on I will not be able to reassemble all pieces together in good order
Do somebody has passed through this experience?
looking for good suggestion regards

Clutch handle replacement

The handles break for a past-time, if you are buying a spare might be worth getting a couple, the replacement can be a nightmare if clutch is on coach roof but if you have taken it off it should be pretty straight forward. As i recall there is a plastic cap over fastenings with star headed bolts underneath, which pass through all three.

The Rutgerson 750 can be slid off its deck mounting after relaease of the horizontal fixings, leaving the deck fixings in situ, and the clutch mechanism in your hand, so shouldn't be a nightmare.
(In fact in this way it can be mounted on top of an endless line, which I think is unique
Depending on the version you have , there are caps on the ends of the handle pivot bar and anothe further aft. once removed the whole lot can be disassembled taking the end plates outwards, and a new handle slipped in (if you can get one, and please tell me where if so)
