  Q: How to remove the door latch, door lock cylinder, outside handle, and inside handle?

  A: Initially, raise the window and then remove the door trim panel to take off the door latch. Next, unscrew those screws that hold the latch in position on the door. In addition, through this entrance to the big hole; you can situate the latch in order to disengage outside handle of a door, outside lock cylinder and inside handle rods. Also, disconnect the rod of actuator for door lock and slip out latch assembly from within the door after that. After raising the window and removing both water shield and door trim panel, one can take out outer handle along with lock cylinder on older models or nuts plus lock cylinder itself. However, in newer models undo nuts before taking away lock cylinder or even removing it first followed by other parts such as outside handles. Using a socket plus extension wrench, unlock nuts or bolts holding outside handle on place then if there are any clips retaining it push against them upwards to release this external grip. Subsequently remove the inner handle by pulling out all connecting rods from its backside once again after opening up water shield with aid of similar step used earlier for two types of this inner kind prior showing how fasteners were fixed previously; remove rivets meaning unfasten bolts at connection where puller's fulcrum existed also have been provided or got milled down amongst others because these could be used instead besides being cut through; whereas finally during installation opposite sequence as used while removing should be applied which means they ought to do exactly opposite but yet same way like shown above.
