brownah Posted October 15, 2017 Report Share Posted October 15, 2017 Hi everyone. Was searching for something on the forum re removing the inner handle from the doorcard but can't find any advice.... I know how to clip off the cover to reveal the screws and have taken off the doorcard but don't know how to separate all the inner pull handle from the door card. Want to refurb all the scratched stuff. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Loop Posted October 16, 2017 Report Share Posted October 16, 2017 When I did it I took the whole upper door panel off. Just make sure you buy a few new clips as some will invitably break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry.0112 Posted October 16, 2017 Report Share Posted October 16, 2017 There are 2 tube shape retainer clips that sandwich the door card between the handle and the retainer, then to seperate the door handle itself from the doorcards there are a few metal clips around the inside of it with glue around and behind them. Cut as much glue as possible out and use some pliers to pull the metal clips out. The handle should just pull out. Then when refitting just use some silicone where the glue was??

Thanks for this reply. I've taken the inner handle off now! Any advise on how to remove the metal handle/hinge portion so I can work on the plastics? Thanks!

henry.0112 Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 Theres a pin that goes through the plastic and through the handle, if I remember rightly you can tap it out with a hammer but if not i dont remember it being that difficult to figure out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am also trying to get this chrome handle separated from the plastic. Does the spring have to be removed? and if so, is it and easy job to put back in afterwards?

henry.0112 Posted January 28, 2021 Report Share Posted January 28, 2021 If I remember correctly (I did this 2 years ago and have since moved on from lupos lol) the spring does have to be removed but it’s very self-explanatory as to how it goes back together and I never had any issues after they’d been apart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I managed to come right. I wedged a flat screw driver between the plastic and spring, then used a cable / zip tie to hold the spring in a compressed position then tapped out the pin, removed handle and put pin back in, so it is ready to get sprayed now 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
