Exterior door handle replacement...

[FrankieD61]

Both of my exterior door handles are cracked. The driver's side will be easier since I need to do a regulator, latch, and handle; so I will make a day out of it... My passenger side is going to be fun since the only thing that needs to be done in the handle.

Any write ups or suggestions?

Thanks.

Take off the inside door panel it's held my the inner door latch by clips and Philip screws unplug your switches if you have power windows I did that last year the gm doors are cheap pot metal . If you have power locks I recommend doing rear doors in the front I they did that in the import scene so people couldn't pop your doors. You can break into these gmt400s with a screw driver I took out the cylinder and metal lines so you can no longer break into it and open the doors.

The door handle is held on by a bolt maybe an 8mm you have to get it from the inside of the door to get access it was kind of hard because of the space but doable
