Has anyone removed the exterior door handles from a Galant (saloon) before? Had a go at Martin71's tonight and with door card removed we could only remove 1 of the bolts on the inside. The 2nd bolt is located between the 2 door skins and seems pretty much inaccessible.

Has anyone removed them and how did you do this? Ideally would like to keep the door intact and not take an angle grinder to it so that Martin can at least flog the door on if he so wishes.

Ive put saloon as I dont know if the estate doors are different

I take them out b4 and all what's I remember it was a real pita job but they went off after lot of swearing and without use of angle grinder.

If you remove the door locking mechanism first, it is easier to access the bolt

Cheers guys, was quite dark by the time we started and yes it is a PITA especially with just torch light lol. The fronts are so easy but the rears...grrrr.

I tell martin71 to hold off the angle grinder for now haha
