Door handle and boot lock removal advice please

Post by fairwynds »

Evening,
am trying to find a WIKI input or a thread on how to remove:

Front door handles
Sliding door handle
Boot lock

...in order to assist when repainting van.

Last time I painted around them but I'd like to do a better job of it this time..
Thanks

cab doors
open door and move the rubber seal at the rear of the handle near the lock mech and you will see a pozi screw head .undo 3-4 turns then give it a tap, this will move the handle fwd, then remove screw and handle pulls out at rear end then slide it back out .
slider
door card off, and you will see a small pozi or an 8mm spanner size head, remove this and pull handle straight out of door ( keep the spacers etc from behind the screw
boot lock
remove card
assuming non lecky?
then lift tailgate and remove the 3 pozi screws fitted to striker plate,
then fasten a cord somewhere on the door frame sit inside on engine lid and pull door down and secure with rope , this leaves both your hands free to extract the lock button it comes inwards and twists , you will see the sort of slot that the screw hole casting will fit through.

easier to do that write :D
