It can be a little bit of a pain in the ass. It is only held in by 2 nuts, but you have to disconnect the 2 rods (one for door latch, one for lock), and that was a pain the first time. You also have to swap over the wires from the old handle, so make a mental note on how they are run. Now that I've had practice, I can easily do it in under 1/2 hour.

I have gone through 2 sets of door handles for each side of my 2nd gen and just recently my lock froze on the drivers side https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683358.gif

After reading this topic, I will pick up another set of handles and get them painted to match and pack them away.

like my boy nick (Apex13B) call it the Hitachi HandShake . i never heard of that but i think its funny. They brake off cause u have to always hold them up when u close em and then u can literally ripped them out.

Take it apart and clean and lubricate all the moving parts. The handle on my fd was hard to move and I knew it would break if I kept forcing it.

i do that too, no broken handles for me
