Hi,
trying to remove the door handles and the nut just spins.. so does the threaded stud.. A is where I scrapped away some of the rubber seal and the threaded stud is visable and it turns when the nut is wrenched. B is the nut that is scarred from the vise grips... wrench would just turn the nut and the threaded stud  C is the nut and stud in question.... a snip from an image of some one else's.  the car was painted with the handles on by some one previously. I would think that the threaded stud would just come out when wrenching the nut?? any ideas??? please... thanks randal |

After you get it off, the handle can be restored and reused. One of 3 ways: #1 tap the hole where the stud was and use a short bolt/screw to reattach. #2 tap the hole where the stud was and red locktite a new stud in place. #3 drill the hole out where the stud was and use a small bolt/screw and nut.

Tapping it won't work. #2- see above. #3- BINGO! |
