Door Handle Removal

[Nickv1214]

Does anybody have a good write up or any pictures on how to remove the full door handle ? I see how the outside cover comes off , I’ve taken apart the door panel and inner panel and I just don’t see it . The picture I included, where the red circle is on the outside of the door ,behind the cover , is a torx screw which I figured maybe that was it , I removed it still didn’t take the handle off . What am I missing .

Not 100% sure but check on side of door, there is a screw that I believes releases the door handle.

Yeah I seen some clear tape over a hole which I removed I think it’s a torx screw pretty deep in there not sure what size torx and if that’s the one .Didn’t really want to mess with it I wasn’t sure if it needs to be fully removed or just turned

Found this another thread.

To change the handle and cap, you pop the little plastic cap from the door jam surface right inline with the handle.
Its a T25 torx I think, you'll need a long one. A socket won't fit.
Unscrew all the way. Then, cap & key cylinder will pop or fall off. Then, handle pulls back, and pops out

Appreciate that , I figured maybe it just had to be turned to unlock , I’ll have to track down some long torx I just have standard torx screw drivers no long ones . Sucks a socket doesn’t fit

Mine was a T27. Just did this today. However I actually just used a small flat head screwdriver and it worked perfectly and was easier than trying to use the flip out torx set I had since the socket type wouldn’t fit in there.

Good to no , so that torx comes all the way out , and there’s another torx in the picture I attached up top behind the cover on the outside of the door , that gets removed as well ?

If it’s the same as the front, do not go so far as to unscrew it. Per the manual, rotate counter clockwise while pulling outwards on the cap until it separates. You’ll feel it start to loosen as the cover begins to move. Once the cover is off you can stop turning the screw. Then, as mentioned, slide the handle rearwards and then pull out on the back part first and it’ll come off. Shouldn’t be any other screws to mess with.
