Thanks bro. The shop wanted to charge me $150 plus tax to do this. I paid $16 for the door handle and did the work myself for $free.99. Life saver.

[@colbyoliveaux7603]

I love how it showed everything except for getting out that last bolt!

[@wannabefulltimers]

Dam, I just watched another video where he completely dismantled the window rails and glass just to get to the bolts....I'm trying your method!

[@FalconsGarage]

Glad I could help

[@carsonmax9703]

i know im randomly asking but does anybody know of a tool to log back into an Instagram account..?
I stupidly lost my password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me

[@carsonmax9703]

@Otis Aldo Thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and im trying it out atm.
I see it takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@carsonmax9703]

@Otis Aldo it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thank you so much you saved my account !

[@otisaldo4178]

@Carson Max you are welcome xD

[@jerydgordon632]

To anybody who has a 99-02, you also have to remove the window lock/up and down panel, (it just pops right up and off) to get at another bolt that holds the door on, figured it out after a few frustrating minutes of trying to pull the door panel off

[@ss3baloney599]

[@nxlsonautomotive8374]

Thanks man I just broke my handle an hour ago. Definitely a lot easier than I thought. I was worried about the lock mechanism but you showed everything in depth. Worth a sub ❤️

[@FalconsGarage]

Glad I could help

[@swank1975]

Mine broke this morning. Glad these people post such great videos.

[@felixlopez1840]

Mine broke this morning feels like -29 and it came flying off. Thanks ! Worth a sub

[@georgecervantez7389]

Same!😂

[@caseykleinhenz9830]

Thank you!
Details from my job:
My panel screws were 7mm, and the handle screws were 10mm.
I had to put the 10mm socket in vise grips to get that last handle screw.

[@michaelvanpatter9464]

Glad this video is still up. I'm not Mr. mechanic so I've been putting off replacing the drivers door handle. Yesterday the passenger broke too on my '04 GMC Sierra. Got to do both post haste. THANKS!

[@FalconsGarage]

Good luck!

[@michaelscott6959]

Me 2

[@jasonstclair1329]

Exceptional job of hiding every detail in the process

[@billd9581]

Thanks for the video dude… I have an old 2001 GMC Sierra I use for a hunting truck and broke the handle last fall. It’s been very frustrating as it was the drivers side… always had to crawl across seat from passenger side. I ordered a handle off Amazon for $18 and it got here last night. I just installed the new one with no frustration. I would have been able to figure it out but you made it simple.. replaced it quick and easy. Took minutes.
So keep this video up. It still helps people. Thanks again!

[@patsummer135]

Lol 😆 I'm having the same issue right now, I can only open the door from the passenger side & have to reach over to manually open the driver side lock. 🙄👎🏼

[@uprisingbobcat976]

Hello fellow crawlers im here to replace as well

[@johnyGrizzle]

Thank you for helping me to do my Avalanche myself and save myself some money for my family. You are appreciated sir.

[@Laced30s]

Right on holmes. Dope vid. Broke my handle at work so this was quick and helpful , beats going to a mechanic 🙏🏽

[@rksr7026]

This worked. Thanks. For anyone else about to try this, go ahead and pick up DORMAN part 75450 because you may break those plastic clips, and you'll need fresh ones.

[@Sle3p520]

Thanks for making the video short and sweet bro! Just replaced my door handle in 20 minutes

[@FalconsGarage]

Glad it helped

[@spacecat7247]

Brother, i have an 07 classic k 1500.
Had to pull out the window and all trim and mirror. It worked but yours was waaaay more simple.

[@TheMissouriOG]

Simple, quick, efficient everything I love about a good how to video

[@FalconsGarage]

Glad you liked it!

[@plantrescue3597]

By watching this video I replaced my broken door handle and the steps he showed are easy to follow and bingo
Fixed:)

[@FalconsGarage]

Glad I could help!

[@bt6034]

Thanks for the helpful video and information. I have this same problem with my truck. After watching your video i feel comfortable with replacing it. 👍🏼👍🏼

[@FalconsGarage]

Glad it helped

[@lernwithgern]

Very helpful, thank you. My 06 2500HD had one more bolt holding the panel on in the lower right corner. I also had to pull a hand crank (there is a small wire retaining clip that you can pull with a small pick). The nuts for the door handle are 10mm. Hope that helps someone.

[@candman25]

Thanks man I just did the same thing on my dad's 2005 2500 and your video really helped a lot

[@twobeards6714]

Thanks man .
My drivers side door's been frozen shut morecthan once on my 02.
Gotta say it's the first replacement.
Great instructions sir.

[@FalconsGarage]

Glad it helped

[@tamaolemolioleava684]

This also worked awesome with my 01 Tahoe, thanks for making this video. And also for listing the socket size

[@joedelgado8467]

I just replaced mine out of 02 1/2 ton single cab, it took roughly an hour and a half, including going to the part store, the only problem I have was the nut on the bottom, the inside door handle bar was in the way , and my fat arms didn’t help much , but all in all the video was very helpful, keep making helpful bedios

[@FalconsGarage]

Glad I could help!

[@EliteBuildersOK]

Thank you brother. In all of the 36 years I’ve had a driver license I’ve never broken one of those…… until tonight. My first car was a 1973 Z-28 LT-1 and I fell in love with Chevy. It had steel door handles. The plastic ones just like this are GARBAGE. I simply opened my door and it broke the oval part all the way from top to bottom plus snapped off plastic where the bolts go. The entire assembly is SUPER BRITTLE like it’s been cooked too long or something lol. Anyway I appreciate your easy to follow, quick instructions which were easy to follow. Thanks again brother 🤙

[@loydmunger7695]

Simple , smooth , quick to the point. Brilliant!! Thank you sir

[@SkullivanBones]

Thanks for this video, went to a nearby tireshop on a friends recommendation to replace the front tires since there was some gouging in them and the guys at the shop broke my handle, was worried about it being an expensive fix, but this laid it out in a easy to follow guide!

[@FalconsGarage]

Glad I could help!

[@yfm4450]

They didn't fix it? They broke it right?

[@OskarLafontaine1]

[@JohnnyMacTahoe]

Gracias my friend! I just watched a video - but it's the older style truck interior - and he had to grind fkn rivets that hold the window regulator and on and on... I was getting bummed out. But - from your demo - same as my truck interior - it's a piece of cake. May good fortune rain down upon you ))

[@FalconsGarage]

Glad I could help

[@boilerbowl1]

Thanks for this. Ripped the handle off my 2002 Silverado Friday when it was frozen shut. Went to AutoZone and picked one up for $35 and followed these steps. Back in business! Everything worked great and it wasn’t difficult at all. Just reaching that third bolt in the handle, but the ratchet without an extension fits.

[@StephenClarkDobson]

Thanks for this video!
I subbed. You just saved me a whole bunch of hell and headache.
I still have to change mine.
This was perfect.

[@mikecarney4448]

Great video followed ot to the T. Issue resolved. One note: that third nut easier is easier using a 10mm box end wrench.

[@FalconsGarage]

Thanks for sharing

[@beartoomud1]

Thank you so much for posting. It went smoothly!

[@erickgarza7278]

Great advice did it successfully after buying a ratchet that fit for the nut on the inside the one I had didn’t fit lol
