Re: YJ door handle removal?
Hi,
If you are talking about the paddle handle like on my 90YJ, you need
to remove the window glass and slide both tapered triangular shaped
bars up and out.
When you reinstall make sure the contact point when opening is
adjusted to allow some movement of the handle before actuating the
mechanism.
This caused me a bit of grief. I also doubt if it can be welded.

I agree that the scrap yard would be your best bet to save cost.

Re: YJ door handle removal?
There are two little serrated wedges that hold it in place,
forward and aft of the padle recess. The rear one is a bugger to
get at, take the front one out first to see how it works.
Get a new one: www.4wd.com shows this one:
Full Steel Door Passenger Side Paddle Handle, Chrome, CJ, YJ,
1981-95 Product Number: 5758172 Includes square rubber seal.
$29.99
I thought mine could be welded, it could but it would screw up
the plating.
Cheers.

Re: YJ door handle removal?
Thanks for the help, knew it was those serrated things, I haven't tried
myself, but daughter and her boyfreind did, couldn't figure out how to get
those out, and thanks for the link, even with duty and shipping it will be
half of the cheapest I've found yet.
