It turns out that the outside door locks of my new toy don't work. The key inserts too easily, and it won't turn.. It feels like the tumblers are stuck pushed out -- I don't feel the tumblers when I insert or remove the key.
I was able to get the trunk lock working again by squirting penetrating oil into the key hole, but the door locks are resisting that trick. So, it looks like I need to remove the outside door handle assemblies and disassemble and clean the locks. Can the door handles be removed by just removing the nut just inside the rear door edge? Or does the door panel need to be pulled to access more bolts/nuts inside the door? Any other tips or suggestions? |

Yes, there's a socket heat bolt hidden behind the door panel, you'll need about a 6" extension using a 1/4 or 3/8 socket wrench. and a light to find where to get at it.
It's either a 5 or 6 mm hex. |
