after searching 'outside door handle', the closest thread that came up was this
nothing useful there
----
'96 base model
yesterday I set out to replace or repair my LH outside handle. The moving part (the grab handle) was in place and functional but flimsy- one of the hinge pins had fallen out and dropped down the bottom of the door. After I removed (and damaged) the assembly I put the pivot pin back in place with a new push nut.... done
-----
the Problem:
in standard 'shoot first aim later' fashion I started by removing the 2 nuts from inside the door and tried to remove the handle assembly that way.
The factory removal instructions are to
-separate the threaded rod (handle actuator) from the door latch (rotate the yellow retainer),
- remove the white plastic lever-actuator (from the rod or the cylinder?)
-then finally remove the nuts holding the assembly to the door...
-remove handle from outside.
here's the key cylinder arm/lever

it's the lever that fits onto and connects the key lock cylinder to the thin metal rod down to the latch
----
1) is this a dealer-only part? I've yet to find it on Rock_Auto
2) what is the best method/sequence to put it all back together?
