I'm going on vacation tomorrow and need to get my door handles off to have them painted while i'm away. Has anyone done this before?
I took the interior door panel off and removed the 2 10mm nuts, unclipped both rods that connect the handle and lock, even took the c clip off the lock itsself but theres some sort of collar over the lock that holds the cylinder into the door handle.

Help me out guys.

Thanks in advance.

i've tried getting those off before with no luck. If you go down to the dealership you can get the directions for installing new handles but they dont really help, they just give you a picture of how it all fits together. good luck.

Yellow Circle is what you removed..

Red circles are the nuts you have to remove..

One the red ones are removed you just pull your handle by the outside..

gluck!
