How to Replace Door Handle on 96-00 Honda Civic

I had a broken door handle, bought a replacement. This was my first time doing this job so you get to see each step as I do it and tips i learned as I went. Tried to get really nice camera shots of the parts so you will be able to do this job with ease! Hope this helps you out! Like and subscribe if it helps and more civic videos to come tomorrow as I am replacing other parts:)

Low key extremely well done... Wtf are you even talking about bro

[@shezie9525]

@@NewTurboGinsu Guess I have to explain it for the fuking idiots...this is a very well done video, tho not many people will see it due to there not being alot of people following the account. Now stay mad bro 🤣

Pushing the lock into the sager was a great move thanks, you solved me a big problem🎉

I'm about to replace the door handles in a 99 Prelude, and this was helpful. I think the design is close enough to the Civic door and handles that this video applies to both. I didn't fully "trust" the procedure in the Prelude service manual because the instructions have you start with unscrewing the latch that is on the end of the door! It's describing how to strip off all of the parts, and doesn't explain whether I could remove the handle without taking apart all those other things. Interestingly the service manual does say pull the handle out before removing the second rod, but it doesn't explain why. Your video explains why; it's for access and get a better angle at it than you can get from the back side.

That is interesting! And yeah what a stubborn little bushing that was!

[@chuckledonne1037]

Thanks for showing us where you struggled. I did the same but you were more detailed than the other videos which made it easier. Thank you for the effort. Chuck from Northern California.

I watch a lot of informational videos on how to disassemble things in the car because I am a locksmith without a doubt this is the best video I have seen to date. A light and simple and pleasant explanation and professional photography.

[@user-cl9zc8tb9l]

I appreciate you bud! That stupid clip behind the metal should for pick cylinder is easy I was missing.

[@TechNewsAndReview101]

Great video, I really like how you point the camera right at the handle from the inside and tell us what we need to do. Someone busted my locks in and this will be a huge help replacing them.

[@eliya5395]

Thanks so much, man, priceless video

[@markwarren7959]

I don't know if it was said before but @9:44 twist the entire handle assemble and unscrew it from the rod instead of trying to unclip it. My replacement handle from the junk yard had the clip on it.

[@deadbeatgarage]

Thank you!! That damn hidden clip was kicking my a$$ !!

[@drummerjstone]

Haha no problem glad my video helped you!

[@PeppaPig4Payton]

exactly like the car i just got, you've jusr made replacement easier

[@calvinpierce2767]

Thanks for the vid bro. Very helpful. The small tips with your trial and error are great.

[@oscarsegura9335]

Thanks for this video man

[@davidconnolly1602]

Good video. Liked the easy mello tone of it, as well as the lack of music. I was only going to change the lock cylinder and this video will save me alot of money, since after watching this I'm willing to tackle the job. How much money? Honda Dealer (NJ) wants 400$. Local locksmith wants 320$. the lock price was also obscene. a keyed cylinder was around 200$

[@KeepinItReal890]

best explanation of this process. cheers bud

[@teadezzy]

This video helped alot Thank you bro!

[@ronduggan63]

Good video helped me out alot especialy with that lock 📎

[@Gumorisco11]

Mine has the handle to put the window down wondering how do i remove the panel with out breaking it?

[@BillRussellVoiceActor]

Well done. I've done this before and need a refresher. I'm actually going to replace it with a used one from a pull-a-part shop. That was the first one I was successful with, but I had bought a new one that didn't fit, but it had some of the plastic pieces that broke off of the used assembly when trying to remove it. Hopefully, I'll make this work. Thanks again!

[@Gypsyqueen7]

Thank you!

[@billkenny7843]

Good video.easy directions.

[@shezie9525]

Hey man first off I know this is a bit old but its a great video and its much appreciated! I wanted to ask you, did you have your handle repainted or did you just put it on the way it came out the box? And if you did not paint it, did the shine on the black plastic hold up or did it fade to a foggy grey and oxidize over this past year or so?

[@drummerjstone]

Hey there nah I just stuck it on how it came and it still looks great.

[@olderrol1968]

Thanks bro 👍

[@donkiko6708]

I just need to replace the lock cylinder so just take the clip off and that’s it??

[@supremerider19]

Could you please show where the lock clips into the door from.the actual lock

[@underdog06]

I know this is old but I need that too

[@betocleto2107]

Thanks man! Really appreciate it!

[@AndradeC]

Very very thank

[@moritzdo8305]

[@raytezba1589]

Thanks for the vid was a bitch to put them back in lol

[@MultiBeast301]

The rod connecting the door handle to the mechanism is a bitch & 3/4 to get out. Seriously wtf did they make that plastic out of lol

[@janssenkuhn4049]

I've seen this complaint several places. I just unscrewed the handle and metal part off the rod then destroyed the clip to free from the metal part. Then screwed the metal part on then attached it to the new handle. Easy.

[@BruceLee-xp5fc]

Hahah why isn’t your friend helping you replace the handle

[@drummerjstone]

I did it myself, I guess I could have had someone hold the camera!

[@drummerjstone]

Oh I kind of stopped being friends with him he was not good.

[@omarchisolm7533]

My clip keeps falling out now huh such a poor design.
