Installation of the door handles is fairly simple. All I used to remove the 2 nuts on each handle was a regular socket with a long extension. To get to the handles, first remove the black support that the door wire harness and fir tree clips snap on/into. This piece is secured by a few screws. Once removed, it's a easy, straight shot down with the rachet. After removing the nuts, slide the handle out of the outside of the door, and disconnect the cable. Installation is basicly reversed, but there are a few tips to make things go smoother. 1. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE NUTS. Doing so, you can sheer off the bolts on the door handles. To prevent, see tip 5. 2. Apply a little grease to the inside of a shalow socket. This will hold the nut into place while you rotate the rachet back into place to install the handle. 3. Make sure the cable connecting to the doorhandle slides back into the sheath fully. Otherwise the door may shut, and refuse to open. 4. If you need additional slack to connect the handle, turn the bellcrank via the inside door handle. 5. If you are concerned about the nuts comming loose, you can find matching myloc nuts at your local hardware store. Once you get into the swing of things, you'll find this job goes fairly quickly. On a scale of 1-5, I would rank this project at a 2. -Robert vin 6585 p.s. If you drive your car on cold nights, prepare to have MUCH colder door handles when you go to open your car! --- In dmcnews@xxxx, "Walter" <Whalt@xxxx> wrote: > I am getting ready to replace the driver's side door handle on my car with > the latest reproduction made by DMC Houston.
