I'm trying to remove the outside door handles on my 1950 GMC. The shop manual I have shows the push button type but mine are the pull down lever type and I am unable to see how to remove the exterior handles. What's the secret?

Take off the door panels and unscrew them from inside the door? I think!

Turn down handle, remove outer screw when visible. Open door, peel back weather strip, remove inner screw. Pull straight away from door. Could be a little sticky as the metal rod wears inside the latch. Sometimes loosening the latch will help with that.

I'm sorry. You don't have to peel rubber to get that inner screw.
