Hello Jordan, thanks for reaching out. We don't have a video showing installation of the Replacement Tilt Pull Handle for Saris Bones Hitch Bike Rack # SA25645, but I can provide some general instructions for you.

1. Tilt the rack down so you can access the release mechanism.
2. Remove any remaining broken pieces of the old handle.
3. Line up the tab on the new handle with the slot in the tilt release.
4. Push it firmly into place until it snaps in.
5. Test the tilt function a few times to make sure it fully engages and springs back correctly.

The handle is basically just the pull tab that activates the internal tilt latch, so installation is more “snap-in replacement” than an actual repair job. If your plastic cover is also damaged, we sell that separately as part # SA25646.

I hope this helps. Let me know how it goes.
