Putting a new door on my 951 so I swapped the mirror (fun) and glass motor (lots of fun) now I have to swap the handle. Anyone have a potentially time saving procedure for me? Thanks

Take out the screw holding the handle from back of the door jam. Tap the handle forward about a couple of millimeters with your hand. Then you want to jiggle the handle out a little until you can see the metal rod connecting to the handle. Look for a pin holding the metal to the pivot in the handle. Knock the pin out of the back of the handle with the exact size punch. Then disconnect the plastic piece holding the handle to the doorlock. It is a tricky procedure and don't get frustrated and force anything. You want to be on the phone with someone while you are doing it for best results.

I have a write up on removal of the original handles in my 968 Door Handle Upgrade procedure. There are pics as well. See sig for the link.
