i figured out something for any/all of you who may have issues re-threading the hex bolt.
the carrier is VERY VERY sensitive to proper alignment. there is a bulbous protrusion inside the door which the carrier sits on and the carrier must be PERFECTLY aligned around the edge of it.
it's difficult to tell when you've got it just right, and if you tighten the door handle screw too much before you get it aligned correctly, it'll be off just a hair and will prevent you from reinstalling the hex screw properly.
so just be aware. when it's aligned properly....everything seems to go back together quite easily.
