Comment. The performance of the work is generally similar for all doors on all modifications (differences are indicated in the text).
Execution sequence
1. We prepare the car for work (see «Preparing the car for maintenance and repair»).
2. Remove the door trim (see «Door upholstery model Astra - removal and installation» or «Upholstery of doors of the Zafira model - removal and installation») and peel off the plastic film from the back of the door.
3. On the left front door, unscrew the inside of the handle and take it a little to the side (see «Switch (larva) front door lock replacement»). On the other doors, with a 10 mm wrench, unscrew the two nuts securing the inside of the handle...
...and take it off.
4. Turn the thrust lock.
5. Disconnect the rod from the handle lever.
6. Remove the outer door handle.
Comment. depending on the door (front or back) and vehicle models, it may be difficult to disengage the lock rod from the handle lever. In this case, the algorithm of actions may be as follows.
1. Slightly move the outer part of the handle away from the door, while lowering the front part slightly down, and lifting the back part up, thereby creating a slight effort in order to disengage the lock of the outer handle rod from engagement with the lock drive.
2. Remove the handle assembly with the rod.
3. Turn the thrust lock.
4. We remove traction.
5. When installing, make sure that the rod enters the lock clamp.
7. Install the parts in reverse order.
