Re: Door handle repair
It's not hard at all. If the handle is the original then you will have to drill out the rivets with a small bit to get it off the door. There is a rod that is held in place onto the back of the handle with a little plastic clip. To get the new handle on it just slides in place and you can either rivet it back on (how I did mine) or use screws to hold it.
You can pick up a handle for less then $15 online and a rivet gun will set you back about the same amount of money. Took me about 30 minutes start to finish to do mine.
