how do I remove the stock handle???/

[Rollin Thunder]

I got the LED handles in today but cant for the life of me figure out how to remove the stock handles. SOOO I need yalls help. I removed the interior door panels and accidently pullled too hard and stripped my speaker wire so I got some fixing to do there, but beside the point. OK I took the plastic off and still cant see where to remove or what bolts to pull. Need help here to who ever did it. Thanks guys.

there are 3 10mm bolts holding the actual handle in place. and then the lock rods will have to be removed, but it's easier to remove them after you get the nuts off.....be careful if yo udrop the nuts inside the door...sometimes they rae hard to find...lol. oh yea...roll the window up first...lol..

+1 on the 3 bolts. The handles are a little time consuming, but a pretty easy job. Don't be surprised if you have a few scrapes on your hand afterwards.

I think there is a rubber plug on the door rail to remove to help get one of the 10mm bolts off, the other two, you have to look up there and see, pretty easy actually.

People have always told me it's easy but when I did it I found otherwise. You need to have midget hands to reach up and get those three nuts off, and then removing the rods is a pita to do without tearing them up!

my hands are huge and torn up from working today. I may just take it to a shop to install the handles and then I will wire when I get back as the wires just need to be run. But Im about to call it a day upstairs. Quite happy with my work as I got the dormer cut out and framed. Just finished tarping it up. Will take pics for sure. I Had a ****** blast using the big saw to chop through my roof.

ok im going to go try. I have no freakin idea where im supposed to wire these? I would like to have them on as running lights as well as blink. I may just have them blink though and wire them in to the turn signal thingy in the mirror.
