Door handle woes

Post by Speedy88 » 26 Aug 2012 06:02 pm

I've never worked out how to do this... How do you get these things back on? I can do it with the handle out but of course you can't get the buggering handle back in! I've been trying to do it with the handle "half out" so that you can still see in from the front but there's simply not enough room for my hands.

Dexterity, ninjaness, patience or a 3year old.

Don't expect many knuckles left afterwards.

front doors? the rears are allways a b*tch but in the front doors you can remove the window guiding rail with 1 bolt and sliding it down/out gives a lot of room!

Ahh of course! I'll go find that bolt next time then :D

It wasn't such a bad day, I got a new fuel pump in and working and the thing fired up after 7 weeks standing. Winnar!
