These instructions worked great for me. I'll just add a couple of comments about the tools: if you're doing this procedure, WD-40 spray the screws and bolts to help prevent stripping / breaking them. For the 3 child-safety-lock screws, use a PH2 screwdriver, for all the others, use a PH1. Finally, a telescopic magnet may be helpful as well. Thanks!
I had to do both rear doors on mine and stripped the screw because I missed this comment. 😢 I fixed it with one of those screw extractors but damn it added a ton of time to my job.
Thank you for taking the time to record this video! I followed the video and replace the driver side rear door handle on my daughters 2002 Accord. It would have taken me hours longer if I didn't watch your video first. It also saved me a lot of money! Thanks again.
@@BayerVideo i have a rear. Door. Latch. Same one. As in the video. But upon watching u just take it out and put new one in i dont see how it attaches to anything to make. It actually. Work ? A clip a. Clamp a. Wire a cord. ???? When u pull the hamdle what. Moves. What needs to be. Attached or removed from the hamdle itself before i take it appart i need to know what im doing
@@gamerghost9281 The handle has a piece on the back of it that when you pull up it pushes down on a piece that is attached to the lock and opens the door.....you do not need to connect it to anything if you install it in the right place it will push down on the outside lock which is what he loosened and called it the child lock.
@@ghostface113 thank you finaly got the nerve to tear it appart and got it back together nbo one ever mentiond how and I was afraid I was missing something the only night mare was getting the back bolt back on I almost had the door in 8 parts and with three people trying we finally got that bolt started and everythings back on its back to its extreamly functional but ugly honda accord self thanks man its been a pain
Thanks I have changed mine (But there is a place you skipped and I was nearly frustrated. (While trying to shift the door catcher to unscrew the second/inner both). Overall, u did amazingly well. Thanks once again
great instruction, as i was changing mine one of the screws for the child lock was so tight i ended up stripping the screw, now its a whole other process i gotta go thru 😓
For those you don't use a regular size screw driver. U use a bigger size. I think it's a size 3. The point is not pointy but flat. If it's still to tight I used it with a socket wrench.
The child's lock. If anyone has trouble the pulling out the screws on that use a bigger size bit. A regular screw driver size won't work. At least not for the bottom screw. If it's still too tight place the bit on your socket wrench. I was at the junkyard and every bottom screw was too tight.
Hmm, could be several things. Maybe the white plastic rod panel is not correctly positioned, blocking the rods from moving, or the metal bracket connected to the handle is not positioned correctly. I would look for obstructions such as these in the door that aren't allowing the handle to properly release the door. However, if everything still seems fine, you may have a problem deeper in the door, maybe the latch that releases the door, your locks, or there may just be a jam somewhere along the way. Hope this helps
EZ to follow video. On the arm rest assembly removal you say be sure “to hold down the button ” … ? is that the up/down window control button? I have a 2002 Accord EX V-6 … I’m not sure if it’s the same to disconnect the wire assembly, could you help me please?
