How do I install new outer door handles

Kamaro Killer · 09-16-2002, 05:36 PM

I just bought some new steel outer door handles, because BOTH of mine broke within a few days of each other. The handles looked like they were held in by two rivets. How do I install these handles? Thanks, Keith

I drilled out the old rivets, then went out and got a set of short stainless steel bolts to use instead. Make sure when you install the bolts that they don't thread very far past the nut, or else they'll hit the window (LATER WINDOW !)

The "arm" has a hole in the center of it. What does that connect to? Thanks, Keith
