I was wondering if n e 1 knew how 2 detach door handles.. searches came up negative..
i have the 2 metal bolts off on the front doors but im unsure of how to go about pulling it out (that metal bar is attached).. i no its simple but i really need em off 2 paint
and i was wondering if anyone mite have a spare tf front drivers door without anything on it (just shell, no glass needed) for sale close to aspley brisbane as i have no form of transport..

you shouldnt play tricks on people

sorry but ive never taken my handles off so i cant help but i would assume they would have some sort of springs sort of like a watch strap to push out
thoguh i wouldnt have a clue
also i dont think the manual has anyhtign about handles
maybe the proper work shop manual might

If you look really close on the inside there are two bolts that hold the handle on to the door maybe 10mm nuts hard to reach. You will need to remove the piece of rod that goes to the door opening mechanism. It is on a right angle bend and sort of goes over the bend and clips on to itself.
Difficult but not impossible to get at then the handle falls off onto the carport floor. Look closely and realise it is not a piece of piss, but can be done.

err you go to the wreakers and experiment with theres on how to take them off that way if you fuck shit it its not yours

LOK15 · Posted: Wed Oct 01, 2003 6:36 pm Post subject: how its done

your talking about the external handle i take it...
first there is a round hole up the top of the door near the handle(inside)put you nuts back on the handle finger tight, then get a large screwdriver into the hole and rest it against the handle side of the rod
Lever it towards the front of the car to pop it off from the door handle.this has proved to be the easiest way to do it without raking knuckles
The same principle applies to the rear doors.. just find a lever point!
