DIY-Door handle removal

Glokwork

Looks awesome I also have a magnetic black z that I want to have matching handles. Could you tell me what you used (type of paint, exact color, coats, clear etc...)?

Gents,

I'm having an issue with that 2nd bolt on the drivers side door handle. Being that its to the right, I cannot get firm traction with my screw drive or socket wrench. Was there any specialized tool that you used??? I want to avoid stripping the screw......

Thanks

Bump. Really could use some pointers regarding the 2nd bolt on the drivers side before I rip the door handle off........

I used a 10mm 1/4 drive short socket with an extension? I loosened the bolt just before it was totally free and used a Magnet on the extension to hold the bolt to the socket and pulled it out. I recommend you make sure you have the bolt attached to the socket when pulling it out while magnetized, this is to make sure you don't drop the 10mm bolt in the door frame. The driver side door handle has a hex head bolt that also needs to be removed its just below the door jam.

if it's the tab i think you're talking about, you just gotta yank it out...don't try to prevent damage to it 'cause it will never come out that way! Can't remember, but i think i may have pryed it a little with a screwdriver. Even so, i was still able to re-use the tab; it wasn't that damaged.
