door handle removeable tool?

[Ricks1971]

I have always used a old spoke from a bike. I know someone makes the proper tool?

longhornman always touts using a rag, and it sure seems like that would work well.
I have the tool, and it works too, but it's one more thing to have in the tool box taking up space.

The right tool for the job as they say.

I got mine dirt cheap from harbor freight with the 20% off coupon. It's not plastic either.

From the link SOM posted -- cheap, and works amazingly well. I tried the rag also, but prefer the tool.

Damn, I bent up a small flathead just to take mine off





*I knew there was a "real" tool for it, but I'm that cheap... and it was a crappy screwdriver...*

That's what I used to do. Bent a few clips, lost a few clips, taught the neighborhood kids a few new words.... finally spent a few bucks on the right tool and never looked back.

Lmao at the neighborhood kids comment.

I agree. This tool makes it very easy, and it's so cheap that you should really just get it.

I bet it's got a GM Special Tool Number, like "J-2709", or something. I've had one for years, thought I lost it, bought another [chinee] and then found the first one, a KD-Tool even. Can't do it right without 'em.

Using the right tools for any job is the easest way eo do it even if u have to spend a little bit of money.

i have the tool somewhere usually use an old butter knife that is in the scrapper collection cause i'm in a hurry and can find the butter knife faster than the tool

Here's what you do. Go to Harbor Freight and get you some picks. If you chose the right curved one, you can get each door handle off in less than two minutes. Then you don't have handle removal tool just laying around until the next time you need it. The picks are multifunction

I have used the same bent flat blade for over 20 years. But you can probable get that tool at your local parts store.

I used the rag trick for years and still do when junk yarding. I also have the tool (although not as long as the rag)and it does work better than the rag especailly when the spacers are really tight and it seems too save some clips

old habits die hard and there is ALLWAYS a rag around
