On a 91 Lumina sedan, how do I replace a broken driver's side door handle?

Question

I'm not sure what must be R&R'ed as a unit or separately, and what tools are needed. Thanks

Answer 1

this is easyer then its going to sound and you can do it in just about an hour.

you will need a c-clip removal tool for the window handle if it has Manuel window cranks, easy to use and only cost about $4.oo at harbor fright tools, look at the door panel and remove all the screws and pull out and up at the same time the door panel will come right off, look in side the door now that you have the panel off and you'll see the rod that goes to the handle, there a little plastic clip that just pushes off with your thumb and just pull the rod out of the handle, and then look at the back of the door there will be two holes that line up with the door handle and you can see the two 10mm nuts that hold the door handle on, take em off and the door handle is yours, the door handle should cost you about $25.oo and comes with a new gasket at most auto parts stores

Answer 2

Best thing to do is get a repair manual like Chilton or Haynes from a parts store...usually run around 25.00 and come in pretty handy when doing your own repairs. Eautorepair.net has online access to factory repair info for a small fee.
