Removing door handles from a 40 I need to remove the outside door handles and key holes from my 40. (It's a 4 door so I've got a few) I've done some staring at it but haven't figured it out. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Re: Removing door handles from a 40 turn them like opening the door, wiggle and pull--after the screws are out
there is a set screw in from the side for the lock cylinder |
Re: Removing door handles from a 40 You do not need to remove the lock to remove a handle. You do need to remove the screw (it's in the door jamb) though. Then, simply pull it out.
The lock cylinders can be a test in patience if the set screw is rusted in. the screw is a #8 if I recall correctly. Being that small and threaded deeply in to a sheet metal "sheath", well, if it is rusted, think "lots of patience". I typically will remove the door panel and heat the threaded "sheath" and slowly twist the set screw back and forth to remove it. Authentic set screws had a slotted head which makes this task even more of a challenge. |
Re: Removing door handles from a 40 If you are not interested in authenticity replace the set screws with an allen head set screw.
