Replace Tecel Door Handle

How easy is it to replace a door handle on a Tercel? If easy, how is it
done? I know very little about cars. Please advise. Thank you.

There are two nuts that hold the handle in. You have to remove the door
panel to get to one of them. How adventerous do you feel?

They are 10MM bolts, and require a little patience, because yo have to go
at one at an angle. Then there are the rods for the door latch and the
lock. It's all pretty straingtforward, until you drop one of the nuts
inside the door. Actually, it's easier than I'm describing, I'm just
prepping you for the aggravation!

Remove the nuts, unclip the clips (you'll see them...) and remove the
handle. Install the new one, attach the rods and clip the clips. Replace
the door panel. You'll see all the screws...

Good luck!

Inside or outside handle? If your car is older than 98 or so you
should be able to find a Haynes or Chilton "how-to-fix-your-car" type
guide, which usually show how to dissemble everything, where screws
are, etc.
Good luck,
