    I have been rooting around and got one inside handle all chipped to crap trying to see how on earth them things come off, they appear to be similar to a mid 70's chevy truck but without the end of the clip sticking out to pop it off, this may seem a simple task to some but this has got me stumped:eek: :confused:

    If I remember correctly.(unlikely)
    They have a pin going through the handle.
    If so,push back the auestchinn and with a 16penny nail push the pin out.

    Does that help?

    Not really familiar with the trucks but do they have an inner trim you push in on to expose a small pin that you push thru? The inner ring is spring loaded and simply pushed back towards the door itself to expose the pin.
    Worth a look!

    YEAH! Like the VAPman said!!! LoL

    that how an f1 handle is held on but these handles (f100) don't have that pin, best I can make out it a clip but I can't see no way to get anything on them to pop them out

    the 56 has a set screw on them

    There is a C shaped wire clip that you must push both of the legs at once. Two small screwdrivers or one of the universal door undoer hootchies.

    If it has the c-clip,wrap a shop rag around the handle,pull it real tight,the rag will catch the edge of the clip and pull it off.

    Done that a million times,but hard to explain..

    vapheads way would work on a GM clip but not these babies they don't stick out, had to sacrifice a tiny screwdriver to make an awl with a small hook and slide it at an angle to force the tip of the clip out enough to grab with another screwdriver I ground down with a square hook on it to get it out far enough to put a flat blade screwdriver between the clip and the handle to give it a turn and pop out, all the while holding a flashlight in my teeth and drooling all over myself in the process! but I got them off

    thanks for all the replies!

    Hey thats exactly how I get them off!!!! Sometimes I use a fancy circuit tester and stab myself in the finger while I am poking at the clip.
