Interior door handles
 

Does anyone know how to remove the interior door handles? Or have any pictures of the process? Thanks

Hey I tried to download the manual and a virus popped up on my pc. I caught it and was deleted in time. Just an FYI. It could of been something else I really don't klnow just be careful.

thanks. the manual says i need a pawl to remove the interior door handle? where can i get one? would a nissan dealership sell it?

made a mistake in my lasy reply. i need a plastic remover tool to remove the pawls. where would i find a plastic removal tool? is there another name for it?

I would assume Nissan sells their special remover tools. I usually get by with cut-up and/or sharpened peices of old plastic credit cards (you could even use a screwdriver for most of them if you're very careful, but you run the risk of gouging the edge of the plastic).

You can find interior panel tools at most auto parts stores. There are also quite a few cheap sets on Amazon...

Hope that helps!

Picked up mine at Auto Zone for $5.

Thanks for the info. Has anyone removed the interior door handle or replaced one? Is it hard to do?

Does anyone have pictures of removing the interior door handle? Is the process hard to do? Thanks

Hmm, I just attempted a pretty thorough search on this community as well as the web with no success. It would seem that NewYorkJon34 has removed his to get them wrapped:

Send him a PM and perhaps he can give you some pointers, or maybe someone else on the board knows of a DIY somewhere.

Try here for the service manual:

You will need to remove the door panel first, then take off the door handle while it is off of the car.

Try this:

You can get the plastic interior remover tools even from walmart, if they have car audio install tools. I got my set from harbor freight for a few bucks and it has 6 pieces.

hope this helps

Where in Jersey are you?? Im in central jersey if you wanna come by ill give you a hand. Just curious y you are taking them out??

Anyone here knows how to disconnect the electrical cable from the side airbag system inside the door panel. I tried pulling it, twisting it, nothing. It won't move. I am sure there is a way to disconnect that cable.
