Outer Door Handle adjustment
 

Greetings..I have a 2000 CRV, and I need to adjust the linkage that goes to the outer door handle. I see where the actuator rod connects to the handle, and there is a threaded end on the rod. The problem is, that I cannot figure out how to get the adjustment piece out of the door handle bushing. I don't want to break it. Looks like it snaps in place, but not sure. Has anyone gone thru this procedure? TIA
