I was able to do it and I'm no handy man. I watched a youtube video on how to change a latch. Here's the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRuOxDnP5gE

I have no mechanical ability with my hands, but I was able to change out the whole thing. The hardest part, for me, was getting the broken handle out, after that, I remember a lot of clips. I did have a neighbor helping me, which made it easier. Hope this helps, and good luck.

I didn't do it myself. I bought it and had the body shop install it. I got it for a third of the price of what the body shop was charging.

It is not that difficult. YouTube videos are helpful. Getting the door open is only difficult thing. It was a little tricky

Yes the crank handle can be moved from the right to the left side. Directions on how to move the assembly are included in the assembly instructions.

sorry, I missed this in my mailbox.........if I am too late, I apologize. You should be able to press buttons on each side of the handle and then twist the handle into the position you want.

There is a cap on the end of the handle that you unscrew. You can also replace the stock bits with others if you have specialized bits that you use on a regular basis.

I think I had the same issue, I got mine assembled by turning the handles inward, not flaring outward, also leave all screws loose when assembling, until all are started. I hope this helps.

Handle should turn easy. Mine did from the beginning. Something could be wrong.

Its very east, just a few screws to loosen ,rotate the end in the desired direction.Then retighten the screws.

If I remember what my hubby did, there was a little hole and he used the included tool to insert. That allowed the handle to be turned. Hope that helps.

If you're just replacing the handle with out replacing the cable it's just a matter of removing the 2 screws on the handle assembly, unhooking the cable from the old handle and attaching it to the new handle. The cable that came with the handle I ordered would not work; I had to use my old cable. I hope this is helpful.

When you assembled the unit, you screwed on the handle in a clockwise direction, if I remember correctly. You should be able to disassemble it by unscrewing the handle.

Yes the direction the door opens can be changed. Door is designed to move the hinges and handle to the opposite side.

Nope. The whole panel has to come off, and you have to be able to get your hands in the frame to work. You need to take a few pieces apart from the inside and put them back together with the new handle. It was a pain getting to it and it took longer than I had anticipated, but I still wouldn't have paid a repair place to do it for me! Good luck. :-)

Unscrew the handle (not all the way) and you will figure it out! JUST ROTATE THE HANDLE A LITTLE BIT AND RE TIGHTEN.

No it can't be change for the right side to the left side because it is pre-drilled holes for the screws for assembly. If you did try to switch the sides you would have the door on the front not fit.

All you need to do is unscrew the handle. It's what holds the top together, then change out the blade. It took me a while to figure it out. The whole thing is really simple.

I would imagine you UNdo the screws you tightened when assembling. If you lost the little Allen wrench you can get another at the hardware. I'd keep them sorted by size. Hopefully you kept the instructions...i remember one part was tricky. The company would send new instructions I'm sure. Good luck.
