Hey guys, time to fix one of my door handles. The plastic cam broke. I'll probably pull the passenger side and clean the inner mechanism and replace the cam on that side too just to be safe.
I've got the driver side all cleaned and lubed up in the door, but cannot figure out how to get the plastic cam off to replace it. The handle doesn't open enough to let it slide out so do I need to drill the rivet and replace it with a shoulder bolt or something? PS I did try to read through some of the other threads about door handles but haven't found anything specifically regarding this yet. |

Mine don't snap. Made these specifically to address that defect You change the formal on the nylon to make it harder, but they do act as a fuse to prevent excessive load on the handle, Lubricate the mechanism on the door as well as the lock. It often is more a matter of all the other parts moving freely. Shouldn't take much pressure with your finger to pop the lock. You will see when you have the door handle off.
