Door handle removal
Beside taking out the 2 screws on my 31 coupe, what else do I need to remove the exterior door handle? Do I need to take off the interior door panel? How is that fastened? I need to take both sides off to clean up the tarnish or whatever is on them. The gaskets are very dried out as well and need replacing.

Re: Door handle removal
I think you need to remove the screws, then turn the handle a little and pull. I have not done this. but in helping someone else that is what worked for us.

Re: Door handle removal
Try turning the handle halfway down (45 degrees) and then pull on the handle. May have to pull hard.

Re: Door handle removal
Turn the handle all the way down and wiggle it and pull. I just removed one from my 1930 pickup.. I shot a little penetrating oil through the latch and got it down to the handle shaft and after some wiggling and pulling it came out.

Re: Door handle removal
Wiggled and pulled it out on the passenger side and it sounded like a spring or something let loose inside or maybe just the latch springing back.

Re: Door handle removal
With the 2 exterior screws removed: put some blue masking tape around the excrucheon to protect the paint before you try removing the handle.
Next push the door latch flush with the door frame, then hold it there while you turn the exterior door handle to full open position (about half way down) and pull outward. Jiggling helps to dislodge the shaft. If this doesn't work email me. I have a full procedure. I also look down from the open window and snake a piece of baling wire down to the shaft where it enters the latch assy and drip some penetrant(KROIL) onto the junction of the shaft and the latch before I try to remove the handle. Reverse the procedure to reinstall, then last thing is remove the blue tape. |
