What size wheels can I fit? Group: Members Posts: 4,645 Joined: 5-April 05 From: Scottsdale, AZ Member No.: 3,881 Region Association: Southwest Region |
I am finally getting around to putting my outside passenger door handle on. 25 minutes worth of cuts and cussing and I still cant get the MF'n thing on. That little allen screw that goes WAY up high inside the door is really screwing with me. I can't get my hands up in there.
I'm going to lunch to take a break from it. After I return from lucnh I'll try for another 20 minutes. After that I'm cutting the whole inside of the door out for easier access!

I had the same problem untill I put a piece of electrical tape on the end of my 3/8 drive allen socket. The little bolt was a nice firm fit to the socket with the tape between the two. Put socket on a 6" extension and then hand started it. Once it was started I put the driver on it and tightened it up.
Hope this helps. Eric |

Thanks. I did manage to get it in. What a PIA for what should be such an easy part to put on.

You do have to stand on your head to see it.

next time, use a magnet to magnetise your screw driver/socket ... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) Andy PS: if you don't have a magnet handy, the backside of one of your speakers works just fine ... |
