LF Door Latch, hard to open... 200 1992

...and a few more tugs will break the handle.

I need some help with this. I have to pull up on the handle almost hard enough that something will break. That final tug upward reeks of something giving up.

I removed the door panel and checked the action the best I could (it was getting dark) and sprayed some lube on the linkage joints. I am not sure I got the lube at all the critical joints, . It seems like something is out of whack with the extra effort pulling up, pulling up more than normal.

I saw a barely accessible adjustment on the inside near the handle. This is a threaded barrel near the top of the linkage. Would this solve the problem?

Edit:
I just found this thread.

door handle!

One of three things. Lube, adjust or replace the door handle. Will a bad door handle cause this issue? I had never replaced one and not sure how that would cause the problem.
