Door Handel

[verm69]

Hey guys

i'm hoping one of you will know this...

i'm in the process of rubbing down my car and want to take the door handels off to make it a bit easier...

we have it kind of out, but can't un-attach it to the metal rod it's attached to and can't get the back of it out of the door... i might take some photo's tonight so you can see what i mean if nessecary...

thanks in advance

search and you shall find.........
but anyway, there are circular clips at the end, just push the trim back and get a flat head screwdriver down the gap at the end of the winder and push (the right way).
u'll know what i mean when u look

screw driver might damage it, the plastic can get rather soft..

what i did (looking through the access hole) is unbolt the two 10 mm bolts, reach in, (still looking through access hole) Reach in and use two fingers on the plastic clip, and press it out with my thumb (the metal bar from it) and then it just slides right on out, once, it's undone the metal bar will drop down, allowing you to jiggle the actaul handle out from the door!

and voula.

make sure not to damage anything, because those pieces are rather expensive! http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/biggrin.gif

havent found a rod yet that comes out easy youll have to use a screwdriver and keep levering till it comes out. have broken the plastic clips aswell have to modify corolla ones cos u cant get genuine anymore.

bascially the rod pushes in, and then a plastic clip rotates onto it, just push the plastic clip away from the rod, then pull the rod off the handle... its easy as.

plastic? hummmm i got metal clips on my door handle

[mc68]

what are you guys talking about, they come out sooo easy....

they are designed only to go one way....so push that way... i havent broken one yet :\

they are usually pink or yellow...connect the mechanism to the lock/handles/latch

yeah... one section clips off of the metal rod, you swivel it around about 90 degrees and pull the rod out.

you can get these clips off of most jap cars, they use a similar design.
