How much work is it to pull the handles? I would need to pull them, paint them and reinstall them in 2 days.

For you no issues at all. A couple body plugs, sail panel, handle cover, lock cover, bolt above handle and 3 nuts on the actual handle and release the lock rod. It’s out.

Takes a quick minute to pull the handle part with the spring and 2 plastic pins to separate them.

No worries.

One other screw that gets forgotten is at the very bottom of the panel and faces the ground. It holds the bottom of the panel to the door.

It was definitely not that easy when I did it lol. My window had to come out otherwise I couldn’t access the handle bolts that bolt it to the door.....

I was thinking the same thing, because when the passenger front lock was punched and I tried to remove the handle, I couldn’t get to the bolts. So the glass comes out first, but that’s not too hard right? 2 bolts then rotate it and pull it up? Or is it more complicated?

That’s pretty much it. Then just lower the window regulator so you have room to pull the glass and then that also gives you room to get to the door handle bolts. I’ve done it twice now to replace the regulator and for the door handle the other day so o know how to do it. It’s not hard it’s just tedious.

Tip you can use a wrench to get the handle bolts without taking the window out. Done it tons of times on Chevys and Gmcs.

I’ve replaced all of my outer door handles and never had that issue

You can access the bolts ? With a wrench or socket?
