Does anyone have any tips on freeing your door handle from the rod that connects to the door latch? At first glance you'd think just two screws and you're home free...NOT! I just spent the last two hours twisting and turning the door handle trying to get it free without any success. The attached photo shows the "knob" that's giving me fits Any ideas are much appreciated. Attachments: https://talk.classicparts.com/images/attachments/4397d55308a84614.gif
Finally figured it out. FYI, you'll never get the handle off the way I originally tried. Once you remove an odd looking clip at the other end of the rod that connects to the door latch, and unhook the rod, you pull the door handle together with the rod out completely. Once I figured out what had to be done, it was about a five minute job. Cheers
good luck getting that clip back on i took it off and now i cant get it back on so i have to crwl throught the opassenger side door haha yeah.....
well glad you got it LoL yes it take a little bit of a trick & luck too the trucks are harder then the cars of those years. try to keep cool take you time.
