# Dan is right again; I got my door handle off...

Posted by «§» (93 SE) on June 19, 2002 at 09:23:01:

There are 3 nuts total holding the door handle on
I was doing the rear pass side door but others should be similar.
One obvious one on the inside when you take off the door panel; another under a little cap (doesn't require door panel removal, it's near where the child safety latch is)
The third is nearly impossible to see from inside and just as hard to reach. I unhooked the linkage to the inside door handle and then removed 3 screws holding the latch in place. I could then move the latch about 3 inches back and was able to see and access the last nut through the hole where the latch was. I didn't have the supplies to paint yet so hopefully I'll do it this weekend sometime.
After the 3 nuts are out, the whole handle comes out pretty easy. There is a small metal linkage to the latch that you need to remove but that's easy.

Thanks Dan and Kaleb (and oE for trying :) )
