Title: how to disconnect exterior door handle from door actuator.
Post by: SEASIDER on August 19, 2019, 20:33:56

Hi All,
Just joined the Owners Club and already need some of your assistance.
Changing the nearside front door locking actuator because of the usual after locking growl.
Everything is disconnected, wiring looms, window glass,3 retaining bolts for the lock in the end of the door, and actuator wiring plug also out OK.
Inner silver door pad also completely removed.
But still the actuator wont come out and seems to still be connected internally to the exterior door handle.
Any advice or  info greatly appreciated on how to finally disconnect from the handle as new actuator arrives tomorrow.
Many thanks
Seasider

remove plastic  cap on inner end of door above latch, undo 8mm bolt, remove door handle end cap, slide door handle to opening, remove.

If i've missed anything, you'll work it out
