Hi. My name is Mike Green. I want to help you save time and money repairing your vehicle. I have 20-plus years experience restoring and repairing cars and trucks. My company, 1A Auto, sells high quality replacement parts over the internet. In this video I'll be showing you how to install these parts. By the end of this video, you'll know how to install them and where to get them. That's going to save you time and money. Thank you and enjoy the video.

In this video, we'll be replacing a door handle on this 1992 Chevy Lumina four-door, the same as any '87 to '94 Corsica or '90 to '94 Lumina. It's really not a difficult replacement, but you do need a few tools: screwdrivers, putty knife or door panel clip tool, a 5/64 inch Allen wrench, a 15 millimeter socket and ratchet, a 7 millimeter wrench or socket and driver, needle nose pliers and a 10 millimeter socket and ratchet.

I'm just going to speed through taking the door panel off. If you want to see this video in real-time, we do have the removing Lumina door panels in our other videos, and also as a reply to this video. Most likely, you can pick up what you need to pick up here. You remove some screws. You remove some clips, and then the door panel comes off. Then you'll need to pull of your water shield, and the seatbelt and stuff. Bear with us for another minute. It will give you some clues. Again, if you want to see the video in regular time, just check out our other videos for the Lumina door panel, and again the reply to this video.

To replace your outside door handle, first you want to make sure the window is all the way up. Next, you're going to want to open upt this little access hole, here. Then you're going to easily access two 10 millimeter bolts that hold the handle on. I've removed the bolts from the door handle. Now I'm going inside the door here. That blue clip, right there, you basically just want to put your finger on and just knock to the side. Then this pulls right out. Then this rod comes down and out. Once that rod is disconnected, the handle just comes right out.

Here, you can see this is the old handle and the new handle from 1A Auto. On the new handles, everything is the same. Ours is even beefed up a little bit in some places. It's going to look great going on there. To reinstall the handle, it's kind of fun. You want to take the rod, and with one hand reach in the door. You want to have the rod -- it's got to be in behind here. You hold that rod up, and slip it into the door handle, and then put the door handle in. Put the door handle in, and then into the holes. At the same time, you're holding the rod up, and pushing under there, and then locking it. When you put the nuts back on for this rear one, you'll probably need to use an extension. You've got to go in there, pretty much right there. Make sure the door handle looks the way you want on the outside of the car. Tighten the bolts. They don't have to be super-tight, though. That works. Then make sure you put your little access hole plug back in. There you go.

Now, you just need to put the door panel back together. Just in the interest of time, we didn't include that here. If you want to see that, it's a reply to this video, as well as in our other videos. Just search for Lumina door panel.
