Instructions for Removing the External Door Handle

Model: Vauxhall Astra Astra G - Years 1998-2006
Part: Door lock

To remove the external door handle, you first need to remove the door panel: there are some fixing screws to remove and clips along the edges. Once the panel is off, gently peel away the internal protective film, taking care not to tear it. At this point, you can access the fixing nuts for the handle and unscrew them, then disconnect the rigid cable that connects it to the lock. Once the cable is disconnected and the nuts removed, you can extract the handle complete with lock (the so-called fruit).
