[Patch 0]

Right i've got one of these repair kit's for the door handle,i've got the handle out,but don't know what to do with the wire attached to it.How do i remove the wire?

If i remember correct , remove door trim, unclip the wire down inside of door and should be connection block(push in) near the bottom of the door. Remember to re clip the wire in door top prevent trapping in lock /window mechanism

It does take some effort to get it to bite. I've got some other screws you can try if you get stuck.

I think he's refering to the procedure to change the striker arm on the handle and not to remove the handle from the door.

You can use any screw as long as you can get a good purchase on the screw.

No special trick, just try harder. It sometimes takes a lot of effort but then again I've done some that didn't.

 

If you get stuck just send me the handle and I'll do it for you.
