Great tutorial! Everything was just as you described. I used 1/4" bolts that were 3/4" long (there's actually quite a bit of open space to have 1" or even 1.5" bolts if you so choose but the 3/4" worked for me). The hardest part of the job was getting the internal door off and back on again lol.

Tried 1.5" bolts (for ease of threading nuts) and they protruded too much into the window path.

I should have watched this video before tearing my truck apart. Passenger side 1998 for Ranger. I got stick on the rivets. Did not know what to do. Watched your video ... piece of cake. Had to run to Wal-Mart afterhours to get bolts/nuts & washers. Thanks again so much. You are absolutely incredible.

BOLT SIZE: 1/4” and 3/4” long. I used a lock nut on the back and it worked perfectly. For the chisel i used a philips and a small hammer. Repaired a 2000 Ford Ranger XLT with this. Thanks Again!!!

Best video....was doing this job and kept getting stuck at hooking up the damn rod, this vid described and showed how to do the rod easiest way, thank you.

Great tutorial. Thanks a bunch. Followed procedure to a T. Works like a charm. One thing though , the yellow clip on the door rod should be gently pried off by hand or flat screw driver . On divers side push it to back pannel of door. On passenger side is just opposite before using the hammer and punch to bust rivets. Also it must be the first thing connected before putting in the nuts and bolts. Just my 00.02 cents.

One of those jobs done mostly by feel... Always fun!

Thanks for the complete explanation and great camera work! Much appreciated!

Your video helped me to replace door handle on 2002 Ranger. Worked perfectly. Thanks for the help!

Indeed video to show inside down rods for latch and lock

Thanks for the video, helps out, plus now I know where to get parts for my old cars,,,

Do you know if the ranger and mazda have the same rods that connect the handle to the door lock operator

SO helpful. Thank you 1A Auto...you guys are amazing! I used 1/4"D x 3/4"L bolts with washer/nut and snugged nice&tight...super. I replaced BOTH sides so now lift gate & both doors are new (2 of 3 broke this past year after 16yrs.)

+Jay T You're welcome! Thank you for the feedback.

Thanks a bunch. I dont think I would have been able to figure this out without your good video. Actually I had trouble just getting the door panel off, but Ford has a better design than the GMs I am used to. Where the down rod attaches to the lock mechanism is very hard to see how it connects, now I know what to do. I wish the car companies would make door handles out of metal (like they used to) instead of plastic .... I have also had the door handles snap off on my 99 Camry. Seems like everyone who has an older Camry - who lives where there is freezing rain to freeze the doors shut - has this same problem.

hello and my door handle works but its got a little play in it so i have to lift the handle a ways before it starts to engage the door latch do i just have to adjust it or do i need a new handle?

These instructions actually apply to all manual locked models up to at least 2010, the only difference is the interior panel is a bit different, and you only have to remove a small section of the panel on the newer models (2004-2010), although it makes the removing the rod attached to the handle easier if you do.. Replacing the handle itself, is basically the same.

I ordered chrome door handles instead of those plastic ones that don't last long and I'm going to install them tomorrow, now I know how to, thanks man.

Now help me fix my ghost wipers on my 99 Ford ranger...lol

just bought a 96 model today and the outer door handle on both sides must be out of adjustment , they barely trip the latch at the very top of the upward pull. So are they wore or just need adjustment to this rod you mentioned?

Usually there are a couple of small plastic clips that hold the rods to the door panel. It you remove them, you should be able to remove the rods from the door handle and then remove the outer handle from the truck. Hope this helps you out.

I did mine on a '08 b2300; da video helped great, thanks lot 4 helping.

How about using a carriage bolt from the outside in so you won't scrape your fingers when grabbing the handle?

@mstblue Punching out and drilling the rivets is the most technical part. Beyond that it is pretty basic. It probably took me an hour including all the time to film. Probably takes me 30 minutes without filming. I would say a person trying it for the first time should give themselves a good hour.

Take a close look at that latch. if the "claws" are jammed into the up position, you can tap them down with a flat head screw driver

Great information to know.. Very Helpful

Okay you're not showing any pictures of installing the bolts and stuff and you didn't show after you drilled out the rivets can you re rivet or do you have to use bolts and what size bolts into the does the new door handle come with a bolt or do you have to go find them yourself

I followed the procedure shown in the video but the "yellow clip" broke. The new handle is on now but I can't connect it to the latch assembly. How do I replace the yellow clip? I'm now worse off than I was before.

Is the metalic door handle opener the same from the 93 to 2003 models?

I have a 98 Ranger and I'm actually having a problem with the rod that attaches to the outside handle from the inside. It's bent and it's preventing the outide door handle from correctly latching on and activating the latch to open the door. I've tried to access it and bend it to a straighter position, but it's proven difficult to get into the door and do that. Can you give me some advice with fixing this problem?

i have a 94 ford ranger, i have just replace driver side door latch i noticed that the rod that aloows outside handle to open door does not fit the new latch i put in, inside handle fits fine and the lock fits fine, the latch came with a smooth hole that is slightly smaller than stock that opens up and clips together, my question is. can i buy a rod that is smoothed at bottom intsead of threaded?

You may want to take the handle to the hardware store with you and try 1/4" bolts to see if they will work for you.

I just ordered from 1aauto this part. I didnt know id have to buy hardware. So what size bolts should I buy?? Nice video btw, good for newbies

Hola Diego, los pasos serían los mismos

You would need to somehow remove the door panel so that you can get to the rod to pop the door open.

The plastic part on the bottom of door latch rod that secures the rod through the hole does and locks it in place anyone know the part number?

I ordered the door handle and so what size bolts should I get?

The mounting base, is more than likely different.

Is there any way to do this without the t20 torque driver?

The lower left side of that metal loop actually fits snugly inside a hole on part of the door latch which goes up and down when you open the door.This has not been mentioned on any of these videos!!

You can rivet them back on or bolt them back on. There's not really any certain size, if you get a couple of nuts and bolts from the store that fit through the hole properly without a lot of play, you should be fine. Thank you for your order. 1aauto.com 888-844-3393
