Default Re: removing outside door handle

Try this: Open the latch with the exterior handle. Then have somebody keep it in that position by holding the interior handle, as you wiggle, twist, and pull on the exterior handle. This worked for my S/W passenger door. It does have a different lock design, but I think the theory is similar: They wanted to make it hard to defeat the lock by simply unscrewing and removing the handle.
