Re: How do I remove locks and door handles?

You have to remove the inner door panel. Then make sure the window is all the way up and use a 10mm socket with an extension to remove the 2 speed nuts that hold the door handle in place. Unsnap the retaining clip on the door latch rod and remove the handle from the outside. The lock is held in place by a metal U-shaped clip. Use a long screwdriver to pry it off. Unsnap the lock control rod and remove the lock from outside the door.
