82 exterior door handle removal/ install ?

[Sodell]

Make sure you tape around the opening well. The easiest way I have found to do this is to pull the handle out and then push the pin through the spring and then just leave everything connect at the rod. Then when you replace the handle just put the spring back and lightly hammer the pin back in.
I have done this the last few times and it seemed to be the quickest way to get them off and back on.
