I am replacing my inside door hanldes. I got the passenger side off and replaced, but my drivers side will not budge! I took the screw out and it still will not come off. I have sprayed in with WD-40 and even hit it with a hammer, IT WON"T COME OFF......HELP!!!!!!

You might try to give it a strong blow straight on. That could knock some rust loose. I'm sure someone with experience with obstinate door/window handles will chime in soon.

If you can get your eyeball around under there,or a mirror,,take a look and see if there isnt a second screw holding it on.
Or ,,,stick a narrow slotted screwdriver up there to see if theres another screw.
Some of the orig. ones had two screws,,one to lock it onto the shaft,,and another one to keep the first one from backing out.
Good luck,
Marty

Oh yeah,,,,the new "just like original" ones from the vendors wont have the second lock screw,,put a drop or two of Loc-Tite on the threads or keep a screwdriver in your glovebox.

WD-40 doesn't work that well as penetrating oil; try PB Blaster or Kroil for obstinate part removal.

If I can't find another screw holding it, I'm going to try this pent.oil that we have at work on it.

Got a Dremel tool? Cut a slot in the old handle and crack that baby off.
