Replacing Outer Door Handle 06 TJ

[Bluewarrior7]

Hey guys my driver side door handle on my Rubicon is flaking off and rusty as shit under where the paint flaked off. I bought a new door handle from Quadratec but I have yet to attempt the replacement. Is this a pain in the ass, has anyone else replaced them for purposes of rusting or replacing with chrome?

I wouldn't imagine it to be to hard unless there's no opening in the door opposite side of the handle. you'd have to pull the panel off to know for sure..

its not to bad, i had mine off on my 99 tj before. if youve never had the door panel off before, grab yourself a flat head screwdriver, you have to loosen the screw holding the door lock trim in place then pop off two linkages (lock + handle ). screw driver handy makes this much easier
