# Yeah it's a bitch to remove, just keep trying. Also, remember a NEW handle PRE painted is pretty cheap at like $40. n/m

: I was trying to remove the door handle from my pass side rear door but couldn't get it out. I wanted to take it out because the paint is really messed up on it and I figured it would be easier to paint if I just removed that part.
: I got the door panel off and found a 10mm bolt on the inside holding the handle and then one on the outside under a small cover. I also disconnected the handle from the latch assembly.
: I could get the bottom part of it to move easy enough but the top seemed like it was still stuck. I was trying to pull it down and out since it seems like you would have to with the spring on it the way it is.
: Is there something else I need to do before I pull it out or was I just not trying hard enough?
