Rear door handle

[tallgeese]

How do I remove the rear door handles on my car? I have found the front nut that holds the handle but I can't seem to get at the second of the two help would be very much appreciated

There's a hole in the door frame as I recall, you need a socket and long extension to reach it

I could not see any access to the nut at all I can just about reach it with my finger tips. All this just so I can fix the dreaded lug that decided to break on me today!! I'm tempted to just drill a big hole in the door to get at it!!! It's maddening how inaccessible it is

You need to move the latch mechanism out of the way to gain access. Remove the screws holding the mechanism, you should then be able to gain access with an extension bar through the hole that's been created.

I don't have the right tool bud I'm using a basic spanner set

If you remove the latch mechanism you might be able to access it with a spanner, acessibility is certainly awkward... ☺

A quick trip to buy some sockets is in order -
