Outstanding detailed shots. Showing how things look from inside the door and then showing the part after it is removed really helps to understand what things look like when doing the actual repair.

Massively helpful. You are the man! My drivers new doorhandle arrived yesterday. Now I know how to put it in. Thanks so much!

Thanks man just had my handle snap off on me so this was super helpful!

Thanks Mr. Vue for showing all the little details and also mentioning that the bolts might not fit the replacement handle.

One more thing, instead of paying more to get one that color matched, I spent less than the difference (between standard black handle approx $7 and the color matched one approx $16) and bought a can of perfect match spray paint approx $7. Your paint codes should be on the drivers door sticker to match it up with "Perfect Match." I scuffed the handle lightly with some high grit sand paper, cleaned it good, used some primer I had lying around, and then sprayed it with color match. It worked perfectly, I saved a few bucks, and I had over half a can left for some touch ups (scratches and shit like that) here and there around the body. Just thought I'd mention my approach in case someone would want to do it that way for themselves.

This was the best video I seen doing this I will be using this one for sure

Thanks for this video .. It was great the way you showed the far away view and then panned in on the screws to remove - that way, it was much easier to see where you were working ( .. another video just showed close-ups and it was hard to see where the cap/cover and screw were located )

Thanks Buddy! You did a good job and carefully explained everything step-by-step which really was helpful to an amateur mechanic like me.

thanks Welking, This is going to make my repair less difficult.

Welking Vue - good video - much hard work to figure out how to got out & get it - you stayed with it! Good for you and your customers!!

Have to do this very thing on my girlfriends 99 Camry. Passenger side though so it's the reverse angle for me. Thanks for creating the video!

Real world DIY repair. Thanks for the video.

Thank bro. I needed the lesson

This job is a PITA on a 96 avalon. I would seriously recommend that if you're doing the passenger front door...consider how often you actually need to open that door with a key, especially if you have keyless entry. Just swap the door without disassembly - wish I'd gone that route before tearing it all apart.

Thanks buddy! Your detailed instructions and video were very helpful for an amateur mechanic like me. I really appreciate the help!

Video is good but the quickest and easiest way is .. First u pop out and disconcert that handle rod rod with a long handle screwdriver ... And then take out the two top bolts and the handle will come out just enough where u can disconnect the lock rod .... Replace back the same way but do not tighten front bolt tight at all as you or going to have to have some play in it to install that outer bolt ... Then tighten them up and Snap handle rod back into place I had to put wd on it so it would pop back in the new one easier ... Put back together every thing and you or good to go..... It only took a hour from star to finished if you tackle it like this ...Cheers

great video. Thanks for the details and excellent zoom in

Muy bien amigo! it help me a lot.

Good video; thank you.

Awesome my guy you helped me a ton just now

Great video.

What is ir the function of the metallic cylinder on the other side of the door handle?

Toyota needs to come up with a better plastic for their cars. I have a 1999 and I've change the driver door handle this is my 3rd one. The car has almost a half million miles on it and still going . Even the plastic connectors under the hood have all broken, Just not very good plastic. But I found it easier to take out the 2 top bolts out because they hold in the handle. Then from the out side lift up on the handle and pull it out. Then unhook the linkage on the key lock part then you can take the cylinder out on the out side and put it in the new one ( bottom bolt only ) because the 2 top bolts hold in the handle. then putting in the new one hook up the key linkage first the put in the handle in then last put last 2 bottom bolts.

You saved my ass bro

Excellent video. I agree with Lucas B. The way you zoomed in and out really helped to understand where you were working and how you were getting the tools into the door.

Thank you!

Cool, thank you!

Thank you.sir.my.2004avalon.handle.broke.now,i.can.fix.it.brother

Good vid. Never ever have seen so many ads. It would be helpful to mention the bolt head sizes when removing bolts. Also, what is the size of the new bolts for the new handle?

Is that door handle compatible with a Lexus ls400 1994

How to replace the POS Camry exterior door handle.

I'm still trying to figure out why you had to roll the window down. I guess just to roll it back up? Nice food prep gloves. Cracking me up bro!

Do their M6 metric 6 mm and the most important part of the video you cut out which is putting everything back

Why did you list this under Toyota Avalon

At 22:16. The rod. Beside it clicking up top, where does it lock in the bottom of that rod. I can't figure it our.

Watched the video twice and I feel confident I can do this! Let u know......

My problem is the new door handles came with new screw hardware and the old screw hardware doesn’t fit the Hold in on the new door handle and I can’t find anything that fits

There is a better, easier way to do this. The lock mechanism can be removed from it's plastic connector and actuator rod and that lower left bolt which is so hard to install can be attached to the handle outside the door. Then the handle can be partially put in the door and the rod reconnected very easily. Then the two easy bolts and the one rod to the handle. It's near impossible to get that lower left bolt in when the handle is in the door.

The bolts or 6mm by 12mm

good vidio . but why you not replace with same color ? they have in stock now it look like fortune cookie .

you got that crap after market" Toyota part on Ebay right? I had the same problem and could only get one screw into the door frame to hold the handle in..piece of crap after market. the original does not have a threaded screw in the toyota is just a non thread hole that uses a plastic to make hole with heavy metl screw

Dude, I had the exact troubles you had doing this. My wife was wondering what was taking me so long to install the handle. I bitched about every issue you mentioned here, at the time I did mine. I showed her this video and she immediately realized what I was complaining about at the time is common to others trying to do this also. Then I slapped her in the face and told her to make me a sandwich. LOL j/k

Dude lift the handle out before you try and take the bottom out

Hubby just snapped off the exterior handle, 6 months ago he broke the interior one with his huge man hands😤

Sorry guy, bad video!

Talk to much, a lot unnecessary, get to it already..

Good video. Thank you.
