Re: door help
Did you take the clip behind the handles and cranks off?

Re: door help
Sounds like he didn't. Henson, there is a small clip behind the handles. You can get them off with a small screw driver, but if you will run down to oriely's or autozone they sell a tool for under ten bucks. Makes life much easier.

Re: door help
Or get a shop rag and slide it behind the handle and move it back and forth and watch for the clip that falls out

Re: door help
you can save the money and use a shop towel laying around the shop. shimmy the towel in behind the handel and the clip will pop right off.
