Thanks for putting this on here

My 2003 f150 is not like that or that easy

[@tombagley3174]

My 2003 is nothing like that. Much more metal covering the door handle so that you can’t even see let alone get a wrench in there

Excellent video. But in the case of my 2003 F150 Lariat Supercrew, I encountered a few problems. 1) the front 10mm will not come off. Maybe it's stripped inside. I ordered a new door handle just in case. 2) The right front passenger door handle is not a keyed lock. There's just a plastic plug in place of the lock cylinder. The driver door handle is giving me problems too so I decided to order two lock cylinders and replace the driver lock cylinder and install the passenger door lock cylinder. 3) BUT once I disassembled the passenger door, there's no linkage whatsoever between the door handle and the actuator.
I ordered a new passenger front actuator; it appears to come with linkages. I am hoping that I can somehow replace the door handle, install a keyed lock and establish a linkage between the door handle and the actuator. Any advice on how best to do this? Thanks!
