The original outboard bracket is out of alignment due to....whatever....and I'm having a really hard time raising and lowering the unit. It looks like the bolt going through (not the handle itself) the bracket is bent - I tightened all the other bolts down a bit in the hopes of straightening the unit but it's hard as hell to crank it up.

As usual - all suggestions are welcome except I'm not inclined to install a new unit (garhauer or whatever).

There's always something!

Stephen,
Seems that you have the symptoms tied to the cause. I'd try taking the bracket apart and straightening any bent components.
BTW, if it's a Garhauer bracket, they'll rebuild it for you, or sell you spare parts, including beefed-up components.
