Exterior door handles

I posted this in Shop Area but maybe wrong section even though I got some good feedback-I am trying to change my exterior door handles on 1931 A coupe . I removed the screws that holds bezels to door but cannot get door handles/ shaft to slid out of latch assembly. Do I need to remove inner door panels to access a pin/ clip to allow handles to pull out of latch assembly? Thanks to those whom replyed to other area. 31 5w

I could be wrong, but I always thought the only thing holding the handle in place is the two screws on the bezel and that the square shaft simply slid into a square hole in the mechanism. Maybe it is just frozen from corrosion?

Don's right

Thanks X2 . 31 5w

I knew something Don knew :3dSMILE:

I must have posted in the other thread?

yes, thanks- Im still working on it. There is no corrosion , I can see down inside to backside of latch assemblty w/ window rolled all the way down but it still will not let shaft slide out w/ screws removed. I will try some peneterating oil sprayed on mechanism to see if just stuck. If that doesnt work will wait for wk or 2 since car in parade this wk-end and company next. thanks for all replies/help. 31 5w
