  Q: How do you remove a door latch, handle and lock cylinder?

  A: To remove the Door Latch Assembly, remove the door trim panel, the plastic water shield, and the door panel brace. Disconnect the control links from the latch. If the vehicle has power door locks, disconnect the electrical connector at the latch. Remove the latch retaining screws at the end of the door. Detach the door latch as well as the door lock solenoid. For installation, simply follow the reverse order of removal. For the lock cylinder and outside handle, work through the access holes in the door to disconnect the control rods from the Door Lock Cylinder and outside Door Handle. Loosen the screw with a Torque bit and remove the lock cover and lock cylinder. To remove the outside handle, slide it to the rear, and then remove the handle. If you need to remove the outside handle assembly, disconnect the rod and door-opening cable from the handle assembly. Remove the two screws securing the frame to the door. Press on the plastic clip to release the frame. Use a screwdriver to pry off the retaining clip or remove the lock cylinder retaining bolt. The installation process for the lock cylinder and outside handle is the reverse of the removal steps. To remove the inside handle, remove the clip at the rear of the handle assembly. Pull the handle free, disconnect the cables from the inside handle control, and remove the handle. Installation is the reverse of removal.
