i have a set of door handles I want to paint.

Does anyone know how to separate the handle from the bucket ?

I tried looking on GrippinBillet.com b/c they sell the chrome handle piece, but the installation page is a dead link.

 

Talk to jsvo5695.

This thread should help you out.

it is easy to do... so DO IT!! and post pics

 

IDNC76 I think you were one of the 2 or 3 I get each month asking for the pdf file that has the step by step instructions. LOL I sent them today!

 

thanks for pointing me in the right direction

once i get the instructions and take them apart i ll get some pics up


Thank you sir. can you try sending it again , i never received the email. Idnc76@aol.com

 

No problem. You're finally doing them the right way?

 

yeah , the chrome covers are still holding up pretty good, however i got a good deal on a set of handles and wanted to try painting them myself, so we'll see how that goes lol

 

INDC, i was asking the same thing you were for my handles...removing the handle from the bucket, not removing the whole handle itself from the door but this pdf didn't help me...BTW, your welcome for the deal!!!

 

You are probably making it harder than it is. Once I had the first one apart it was a breeze......

 

Do you have any instructions or tips on how to do it, i never found the instructions.

 

My handles were from a stx which are a little different. But the pin that holds the front of the handle just pushes out with pliers.

 

^^^^could you post some how to pics or something??? or upload a link of how it is done on youtube??? i bought the cheap chrome overlays for my truck off ebay but would much rather have the real thing (there is a member on here that wants to swap out his chrome handles for my ptm handles)....thanks!

 

Hey bro.. Dont know if you got them apart yet.. If not maybe this will help.

^^^^YES THIS DOESN'T HELP...you guys are showing how to take the entire door handle assembly off the door but it doesn't help anyone who just wants to take the outer handle off the handle/bucket assembly.....

 

If you scroll all the way down on that page i believe it does.....
