Part: Handle

This guide shows how to replace the outer door handle of the Ford Explorer Mk4. The first step is to remove the two trim panels on the side of the switch panel and the handle located at the bottom of the door.

Disconnect the lock cable and fully close the window. Remove the insulating sheet and unscrew the 6 mm bolt that holds the structure in place, then remove it.
