how do i do that on my car? are there retaining clips/pins, or just screws that have to be reached from the inside?

if screws, once UN-screwed, does the handle just come off or is there another hidden procedure for freeing them from the body?

thank you.

Hi Dave,
Yes, just the two nuts. If you have power locks then just undo the wire. Andy

thanks

Oh My bad Dave,
I assumed you were talking about the outer door handles?. If inner door handles, I believe there are four bolts and two screws. Four allen bolts that holds the inner door handles to the door, one screw that holds the door panel to the door handle, and one screw that holds the door pocket to the handle. Andy

What Andy said. First remove the door panel. Then grab a flashlight and shine it into the cutout section of the door, you should see two nuts that need to be loosened, after those are off, you can pull the handle right out from the door.

thanks guys. yes andy, i meant the outer...

another Q: if i'm going to have the locks re-keyed, do i need to remove the cylinders or can i just give them in one piece to the locksmith? ie: will i screw things up if i remove the locks myself?

You can remove the cylinders yourself, its not time consuming. It depends on whether you trust this locksmith has the knowledge to remove the cylinders. Is it a German locksmith .

Take the entire handle to the locksmith. They are well smart enough to remove replace the cyl from the handle and will thank you for doing so as they can test the pin work.

thanks kurt... just from reading up on this i figured i'm going to have tons of little springs and pins shooting out from the thing...

since i'm farming this out, "it's easy enough" . ..... now, about those pesky window regulators...

that sure looks like a crap task... need some infant w/ small hands to reach in there..

Get in touch with the Cayman owner from last weekend. Chances are he has some even younger girls stashed around somewhere!
