It is best to fully remove door from Jeep. Remove all door pannels. Once you get the pannels off remove cotter pin from actuator rod that is connected to the paddle handle. Then using a long flat head screw driver and a hammer tap 2 small flat steel springs out of place or off of the serrated steel holding brackets. (you will have to align the flat head screw driver on the end that almost makes a complete circle and you might have to use some manual force, also keep the serrated holding brackets as you will need them to install the new handles.) Once you have the flat steel springs out you can then tap the serrated holding brackets out using your flat head screw driver or you can pull them out the opposite direction. Which ever you find to be easier. Once the serrated holding brackets have been removed you can tap lightly on the handle from inside the door with your hammer and the handle will almost fall out (you may have to wiggle it a little). This should work on all jeep paddel handles from 1979 up to 1988 or at least that's as far as I can tell from expierence.

Remove door panel Remove Latch cover Remove cotter pin holding latch bar to handle actuator--move bar to the side Remove two clips on the left and right side of handle look at new handles to determine how clips are removed Slide key toward top of door on each side (this may be difficult, but they will slide up--use manual persuasion if necessary) Slide old handle out and remove the tin trim ring from around it.

This is not a job for the faint hearted. You will need a lot of patience and dextrous fingers. Remove the interior door panels...look into the handle area and spot the 3 small nuts that hold the handles to the door skin..remove and save... locate operating rod clips, release, ease handle out from door, locate loom connectors for lock barrel heater and lock control, they are secured from being trapped by the window in a small clip...... disconnect and remove handle. Reassembly is reverse of removal plus a little more fiddling about !.
