How to replace the external handle on the KIA Sportage?

Model: Kia Sportage MK 2, KM - Years 2004-2010
Part: Handle

In this tutorial we can see how to replace the external handle in the KIA Sportage, an extremely simple and quick operation. First of all, we open the door in which we will work, then we locate the small rubber cap placed on the inner edge and remove it. We then unscrew the indicated bolt using a 10mm socket wrench, being careful not to drop it, extract the lock cylinder and, pulling the handle towards the rear side of the vehicle, separate it from the door. At this point, all that remains is to insert the replacement and reassemble everything following the reverse procedure.
