Man I'm so glad you grabbed an obs. I've had mines for two years sitting in the garage with no engine and now you done motivated me to get out there and get it going. Brand new handles just suffocating in the box because they been sitting for so long with a bunch of other new from 2021 stuff taking up space. Respect 🙌
🤦♂️ all these years I never loosened the three bolts for the lock striker thing. So imagine how difficult all these years of working on OBS trucks have been for me. Thanks for sharing this.
Right on the money SW 👏 that's how I did mine also for the viewers if you replace the latch like I had to do I pulled mine out through that black vent opening just below where the old latch sits
2000 e-lade, gold painted handles. the key to the re-install is the latch being loose like you did, making room for the handle rod to slide down and into the latch before tightening the t30 bolts and the handle. thank you for the lesson great video's as always
Wow, that's the easiest thing I ever saw. You are genius. I have to change both of mine and no one ever showed to just release the lock cylinder. Super easy. Thanks a lot. Woooooooooooooo
Bruh!!!! I just fought this mug for 2 hours in a scrap yard…. Tore skin off my knuckle, scratched up my forearm, n sweated n cussed…. Then here you go doing it one handed! You a whole artist on these vehicles!!!!
Definitely the easiest ive seen it done. Never thought to undo the lock cylinder, that makes it so much easier lol I'd catch hell putting them back in and trying to not scratch new paint. Thanks again
Great video. Two thumbs up. I was wondering why removing the inner door panel is necessary, but thats what all other videos I saw do. I'm simply replacing the lock so this is a great video for what I need. Thanks alot!
Thank you for the video, I watched your video this morning after doing the other side and it taking 2.5 hours today only took me 15 minutes. Wish I would have seen your video first...
That was a very helpful video. Im working on a 90 shortbed GMC Sierra. A 77 Impala Coupe. And a 97 2 dr 2 wheel drive Tahoe. I just finished a 95 SS Impala
Good looking on the obs door handles every video I’ve seen ppl over complicate it or leave out important details. But I have a 96 2 Door Tahoe I’m getting together.
Why do all the other videos take the inside panel off ? your way seems so easy I'm waiting for part for my 1998 Chevy Silverado 1500 and im going to try your way first
Might as well replace everything while you in there because if its like mine you will be fixing something every week, cant tint my windows because im pulling it out all the time
If you can't get it back together because you took the latch rod out, hear are a few tips. To make it easier to understand, a quick review of what I call the parts is in order. The outside door handle, or latch handle, is connected to a bar on the back side of the unit. I call this the latch bar. The latch bar is connected to a latch rod, and secured with a metal clasp. Here's my tips: #1 The other end of the latch bar sits in the top of the latch, the ratchet you see on the door jam that secures the door to the jamb. This latch rod is not secured, so if you pull it out it is easy to forget how to reassemble it. The lock is also attached to the top of the latch. Get a flashlight and look down at the latch. You will see the rod connected to the lock cylinder and a hole to the left for the latch rod. Insert the long straight end of the latch rod into this hole, and now the critical part, the hooked end must enter the latch arm so the the hook faces towards the jam, not the front of the car. If you insert it backwards, with that hook towards the dash, your reassembly will be a nightmare and when you do get it back together it will not work. #2 Also, the metal clasps only work in one direction, so if your rod will not snap into the end of the latch arm, remove the clasp and turn it around and it will work out great. #3 The white plastic clips that hold the interior door trim onto the door are brittle. You are likely to break a few, or like me, find some previous Mr. Fix It broke some, so buy extras before taking on this job. #4 No arguments, it's tricky reassembling the door handle. The support for the window is in the way, so above and beyond everything else, the latch bar has to be to the right of that vertical support and then you push it up and as out of the way as you can before you turn to the problem of the lock. The lock rotates, but it has a projection on the bottom so it will only fit in the cylinder channel in one position. I rotated it with my right hand to where I wanted it, then I eased the right side of the whole mechanism towards the car and brought the left side out. This created just enough room for me to tease the lock in with both my pinky fingers. Try it a few times and then get the smallest person in the family to do it, because it takes patience if you have big hands.
Getting that lock cylinder back thru and clicked in place can be a pain sometimes. Esecially when you're working around fresh paint job. Those aftermarket handles have gotten better. 20 years ago they were junk and wouldn't hold the lock in place. Good video though, especially with one hand
@@SprayWayCustoms You are a better man than I , I would up buying another door off a salvage truck after beating holes thru my door skin trying to change one. lets just say its a learning curve "))
