I'm trying to paint my doors and would like to remove the outer door handles to do so, but I have no idea how. I tried removing the two bolts, but cannot seem to free the assembly from the linkage down to the door latch. Any help is welcome, and sorry if you thought this was a thread on shaving your door handles, I want to put them back on.
The plastic clip that holds the rods, rotates (turns) sideways. Then you pull the rod away from the hole. If this isn't clear enough, I will go get a pic of my handles for you later tonight.
i'm pretty sure i know what you are talking about, i was able to unclip the plastic from the rod, but was unable to pull the rod out. I will try to get a pic of how it looks
should be able to pull that rod strait out towards you....cuz that rod makes a 90 and goes in the hole. then that clip locks it into place.
heres a vid and some pics if you scroll down, yours should be similiar to this https://www.2carpros.com/articles/test-or-change-electric-power-door-locks
