How do you remove the door handles on an 86 Jeep CJ7?

Answer 1

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. Place the ring around the new handle, and replace handle in door (Leave the retaining clips on the new handle) Slide the keys down until it will move no more--then gently tap down a little with some more manual persuasion. Replace the actuator bar and cotter pin, and put everything back together.
