Def helped alot. Breezed right thru it. The 3rd bolt isn't that hard to get to
Thanks dude.
Thank you very much! My initial reaction was to complain about how to get the turn bolt off and then I realized it was very easy and you helped me out with a few things including how to get the lock off which I wasn't sure about thank you
Any advice on matching paint?
Thanks my friend, you saved me a hundred or more dollars by not taking it to a shop. And honestly I did this job in about 45 minutes with help of some Mountain Dew . Hell yes brother.
On the 2004 chevy are all the nuts 10mm
THE HIDDEN 3rd NUT! Having just done mine, I was on the drivers door for mine. I looked into the hole on the edge of the door and saw the nut at the height of the outside door handle. I reached up into the door cavity with my right hand and placed an open end 10mm on the nut, turning it only enough to break it loose, and turned it with my fingers. Some people also use ratcheting closed end wrenches.
Two other folks have asked the same thing, the most important, meaning hard to access is the 3rd on closest to the front of the truck. Do we need to drill out a piece of the inner door frame as Ford had us do back in the gen.2 broncos from 78 on up to replace the window motor?
Good job brother, God Bless You!
Mine's not working….It went smoothly (we did it before on the driver side), but the handle doesn't catch anything once installed. When you pull on it there is no pressure, like it is already in the pulled on position, and you can see that the little rod is not moving up and down. It seems like it will work but once it is all the way pushed into the door it doesn't work, the metal part that is supposed to be pulled when you pull the handle is already in the "pulled"position (the metal arm that is in the plastic bracket that moves when you pull it. Can't tell if it's a bad handle or something wrong in the door or the rod, but the rod is still attached and it will move until I push the handle all the way into it's mountings. The door does open from the inside. Hubby pulled the handle right off when it was frozen shut last week. The metal piece that comes up out of the spring and then has the little plastic bracket snapped right off so the little part that clips onto the rod stayed on the rod and the handle came off. The bolts all stayed in the door too because the weak point on these handles is that the screws are glued into the plastic handle. Any thoughts on if I"m doing something wrong? 2004 Tahoe passenger side
You skipped a nut the hardest most unreachable one very misleading
The paint doesn't match. You hafta paint the rest of it. 😉
Great video. Thank you! I just broke my GMC handle 20 minutes ago…
Thanks for the instructions. Very helpful. God bless you!
You skipped the only hard part… How to get the top 3rd nut off the handle surround. Either up or down, It's behind the window and no access hole in metal?
Thanks for the instruction on How to replace an exterior door handle. I have the same issue on the driver side as well. After watching this video I feel very confident that I can replace my handle myself…Tomorrow! 😉
Gave this a thumbs up, but I drive a toyota so I am not familiar with having to replace parts or need repairs on my car or truck.
I'm glad we have not had any of our Ford's have any problems with the doors.
Good morning ✌
lose that moneypit. jeep is a keeper.
Can you come fix my Suburban?
That was a big job just for a door handle and you handled it well !!
Thanx, good stuff!
Did you practice this whole procedure before you videoed it? You made it look like you've done this a few times. Nice job!
Great instructional! I've patched a gas tank, replaced a selinoid (sp?), rebuilt and replaced carburetors, fuel pumps, radiators, replaced U-Joints, etc. My brother gave me an old station wagon with a set of tools and he told me to learn how to use them so i did! Lol! Informative video. Thanks!
You make it look simple! 🙂 Well done. Lube that lock while it's warm out… 🙂
