GMC Repair: 1995 gmc door handle needs to be replace, door locks, door handle

Question
ok i have a 1995 GMC 2500 pickup no power windows or door locks, the driver side door handle on the inside is broke and the lock does not work either. I have bought the replacement part, which it is the handle and lock piece, What is the best way to replace it. I bought a tool from the store for removing the clips, can i get any pointers on replacing it?

Answer
Hi Remove the trim piece surrounding the inside door handle (4 clips). Remove the window crank
Remove the 2 screws in the hand pull area of panel.
unclip the mirror trim piece. Then unclip all clips holding door panel to door (10 or 12) They are VERY agressive clips on ths door they'll make a loud snapping noise sounds like they are breaking. Some MAY break also.
After all clips removed, gently pull up on panel to release it from top window channel.
You'll then see handle. Drill out 1 rivet then slide handle oul. remove the door handle rod and the lock rod from old handle.
Install new handle and panel opposite as removal.
you can just use a screw in place of rivet if unavalible.
Just suggestions from experience.
If in doubt, take it to a repair facility your familiar with for additional help.
Good Luck
