Is this an auto? I've never had any problems doing it in a manual. There
shouldn't be any problem, apply parking brake is all you should need to do.
I'm assuming that since you have it out, the necessary hardware and trim

It's a manual. My handle only goes up about 25 degrees or so. Maybe
that's the problem?
