√ Watch the Video √ Buy The Part at 1A Auto 1aau.to/m/Shop-TRQ-Parts √ Do it Yourself √ Save Money

Very helpful. One MUST run tests to be certain first, and eliminate other issues first, as this procedure destroys the old part. (Other procedures, more time, do not.) Where the video producer spoke to, but didn't show "cutting" or breaking the old plastic shaft, I found the best thing was to remove the old part from the bracket, and then just "he-man" bend the plastic shaft by turning the body sideways and flexing it at the shaft just below the metail part, until the shaft breaks. I tried cutting it, but unless you have a really small hand saw, or side-bite cutters (who has that?) the easiest thing was to bend the shaft at the plastic, until it snaps. Then remove. Then remove the old U-hook shaft as shown in this video. Reinsertion is as shown, but harder in reality. You have to do it blind, so following the door-handle-shaft up and in, until it gets to its terminus. And then just below that you can feel about the backside plastic barb of the U-hook "hole" plastic insert fitting. Then finger (or thumb) around until you can feel the "inside of the car / e.g. center-line side where the u-fitting will enter. Get you hand in there, feed the u-shaft into that hand, point the tail to the side of the door, and thread the short part of the U-hook shaft (short bit of the "U") into the hole, pull towards the door outside, until it goes in the hole, then rotate down. Now, you can let it hang in place. Then as shown in the video, connect the body to the shaft. Took several attempts. Found the best thing was to practice a bit with one of the extra shafts and body (without locking those in), and then use fingers, and thumb to press in the shaft until it locks. Getting it pressed in all the way with thumb is a pain. Once locked in, then insert into bracket as shown in video. I recommend using a small pry tool, not a screw-driver. You need the bend to get the correct leverage in the space available. (Inserting into the bracket was the worst part for me. It just wouldn't go. It was difficult, but keep at it. Reinsert electrical (easy). You DO NOT have to remove the stereo speaker. You may or may NOT have to remove the Door Handle Internal metal bracket. (You always have to remove the plastic door handle). Removing the metal bracket gives you about 3/4 of in inch more space on the frame entry hole. Depending on your physical dimensions, you may not need that to reach in and get the angles. (I did, tall guy with long for-arms, needed every bit of space.) But a shorter person might not need that last inch of space, and then you can save taking off and then putting back one more thing.
