How do you replace 1995 Chevy 1500 inside driver door handle?

Answer 1

sometimes you can find a used handle at a salvage yard, otherwise you will need to buy the assembly. You pop the cap off on the inside behind the mirror. pry the pnl that houses your window buttons and speaker up and disconnect the wires. There are two screws that are on your arm rest that have to be removed. There is a trim ring that goes around the door handle assembly that has to come off (use a rag around a couple standard screw drivers to remove). Start at the bottom of the door pnl and gently pry it off working your way up. Once all the plastic clips are loose grab the door pnl and lift it up off the lip of the window frame. Your can see your door handle assembly now. There is a rivet that holds it in place. Drill out the rivet and slide the assemble tward the front of the door. use a needle nose plyers to pop the lock and opener rods off the back of the assembly. Reverse to reinstall. I would suggest that you get a small nut and bolt to replace the rivet and put the head of the bolt on inside facing out, that way you can get at the nut unless you have a rivet gun.
