The first of many issues with the work truck that i was assigned to fix and use to get me around the farm: a broken outside door handle. Since these are flimsy plastic pieces, I went ahead and bought two metal door handles to replace them.
I was able to figure out how to get the inside door skin panel off, but am stuck as to how to remove the existing handle. I read earlier today a post from another website that a guy had to drill out the rivets, but I was wondering if there was another easier (and less accident prone) way to remove the handle.
I can figure out how to get the replacement back on with bolts, that's the easy part. I just don't want to wreck the door if I don't have to.
