My galley handle did the same thing. I had to drop the bottom pan to remove the remaining stub and install the replacement. When I did I found that the hole wasn't in line with the handle rod which caused the rod to rub and wear through. To prevent it from happening again I drilled out the hole to 5/8ths and put a rubber grommet in the hole. Now the replacement rod hasn't a metal surface to rub against and is also in line with the hole. Keystone would do everyone a favor if they would do the same thing. I am keeping a close eye on the other two rods.
