I just spent half the day replacing my passenger side handle. Had to pull the inside panel off which left me with 5 broken push-pin holders just to get it off. Then I had to epoxy the holders back onto the inside of the door panel. Getting to the bottom nut is easy using a socket wrench thru the built-in hole they give you but the top nut 'Holy Cow!!' It was everything I could do to reach all the way up into the door from the inside just to get one finger on the nut to screw it onto the top handle bolt. Three minutes is the length of the video, not the hours it takes to do the job. Astro handles are the Achilles heel on this vehicle, I've replaced every handle on my van!
Three minutes, my butt! I did car audio for 20 years and the door panel just didn't want to come off- I have several tools for removing door panels and it still didn't want to come off. Also, they only have one hole for the nuts and the lower one is almost impossible to reach, even with universal joints, a flexible extension or anything else, so I cut another one. Total crap design.
TOP NUT CAN ONLY BE PUT ON WITH NIMBLE FINGERS 10 MM FOR BOTH NUTS THIS COULD TAKE AN HOUR OR MORE DONE LOTS F THESE AND ITS ONE OF THE MOST PAINFUL FRUSTRATING DOOR HANDLES TO INSTALL EVER . DUDE YOU DIDNT EVEN SHOW INSTALLING THE TOP NUT. 3 MIN YOUR OUT OF YOUR MIND.
took me two hours and did it way different they didnt show anything properly, had to remove one of actuators metal rods to attach top nut as well as leave the door handle bottom nut slightly loose to have enough room to pop on the nut. they also didnt show how to remove the panel properly just had it all disassembled and skipped out on it, also didnt say that its a t40 torx bit to remove door handles as well as other info missing
LOOKING FORWARD TO REPLACING MY OWN HANDLE! THANKS FOR THIS WONDERFUL QUICK VIDEO! YAY CAPS LOCK!
Snow! It's always fun to work on the Astro when it's cold and snowing, lol. (Yeah, I live in Upstate New York)

IT’S A HOW TO GUIDE IN WHICH THE VIDEO IS THREE MINUTES LONG. NOWHERE DOES IT SAY THE PROCESS TAKES THREE MINUTES. ALSO, WHY ARE YOU SCREAMING?
I'm calling BS ! Maybe an hour or more !
