Breakers

Hi
I have tried unsuccessfully several times to source a boot handle from the breakers, I know fine they have the cars in, is it just that they don't want to supply the handle on it's own, or can't be bothered removing it?
Wouild I be better asking them a for a complete tailgate, or get a new handle from the dealers?
Mines sticking, tried the fix but can't get the pin to budge

TIA

I had to use a vice to hold the handle, then use a hammer and small screwdriver to whack it out - was pretty well stuck in there.

Thanks folks, that's the guide I was using, but like I say, mines won't budge, was holding it in the vice, but the pin was disappearing in one end but not coming out the other indicating that it was probably beginning to bend so I stopped there
