Default Oh sh** handle removal

How do you remove the oh sh** handle from a 95. Bill gave me a switch to replace the missing one, but I can't seem to figure out how it comes off. Also, in the wanted section I still need a new handle for the left side. (it is broken).

I don't recall exactly, but I know that I was able to extract one from the salvage yard, and all I had with was a flat screwdriver.

As I recall, I started the process by prying cafefully. There were 2 clips/anchor points that I was able to loosen, and once they were released, the handle assembly just came right out as a whole.

Best advice I can give is work slowly and carefully. I wish I had better recollection, but it was quite a long time ago that I removed a couple of those.

the rear ones also have the coat hanger hook as a tab you need to pull out.. and then the ones behind the handles... i think using a needle nose pliers works the best...

carefully.. they might snap.. then you need to head to the wanted section

Yeah, i just need to get the one off to put the switch in I got from Bill, but the left side is already broken. I have already got an ad in the wanted section.

Thanks for the help.
