Hi, I'm Mike Green. I'm one of the owners of 1A Auto. I want to help you save time and money repairing or maintaining your vehicle. I'm going to use my 20-plus years experience restoring and repairing cars and trucks like this to show you the correct way to install parts from 1AAuto.com. The right parts installed correctly: that's going to save you time and money. Thank you and enjoy the video.
In this video, we're going to show you how to replace the rear outside door handle on this 2002 GMC Seirra Crew Cab, same as a Silverado as well as the same as the rear doors on Suburban. The only tools you'll need are flat blade screwdriver, a 7mm socket, a 10mm socket and then a ratchet and extension.
There are two 7mm screws that you have to remove or bolts: one right in there and then one down in the bottom corner, here. Then, as well, you need to pry out this trim panel, pry out your lock button and pry out your window switch and disconnect it. First put your fingers under it. Pull up that bezel. Take a regular screwdriver stick in the front there, pull out your lock button and on this switch, also pry up gently there. In front of it, there's a little tab. Use your screwdriver, push on it and pull the connector down and out. You can also pry out your light and reflector and disconnect it. Take your 7mm socket and ratchet and extension. We'll just speed up here as we remove those two 7mm bolts. Once everything is unbolted, then you just lift up on your panel and it comes off. Peel your water shield carefully, and pull it back some.
Now inside there's a rod that runs up to the door handle here and you can easily just use your thumb to push that clip off. Disconnect the rod and there's three bolts: one there, one there and then one that's a little bit more difficult, right up in there. For two of them, use a 10mm socket with a ratchet and extension. We'll just speed it up here as I take those two nuts off that are pretty easy to see. Then take my extension off and put my ratchet right up in. We'll speed it up here again as I take that nut off. Take that, and now, your handle pulls right out. You can see this is rusty. What happens is this breaks or sometimes this pin breaks.
Here's my original handle and a new handle from 1A Auto. You can see it's all the same. It doesn't hurt if you want before you put it in, to spray it with some penetrating oil or white lithium grease. You can see that this gets pretty corroded and gets sticky especially if you don't use the doors a lot and that's how the handle can break. The new handle just installs like the old one came out. Put it right in. Use your original nuts. We'll just speed it up here as I start those three 10mm nuts and then use my socket, ratchet and extension to tighten them up. You want to tighten them up firm; they don't have to be extremely tight, though. Reach up in there, connect the rod back into place. Put the clip back down.
Put your plastic water shield back into place. Put your door handle back on, make sure you bring this right up through here, bring your courtesy light through. The white plastic legs down there, get them resting in the door like that. Push the panel against the door. It should slide down nice and easy. Get this bolt next to the armrest. I just put that in backwards.

Hi, I'm Don from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we're going to show you how to replace the exterior door handle on this 2002 Chevy Suburban. We show you on the passenger side but the driver side is the same procedure. The items you'll need for this are a new exterior door handle from one 1AAuto.com, a flat blade screwdriver, an 8 and 10 millimeter socket and ratchet with an extension, and a 10 millimeter wrench.
Start off by prying up your switch panel and then pushing the tab on the harness and disconnecting it. Next remove this eight millimeter bolt, this eight millimeter bolt right here, and this eight millimeter bolt at the bottom of your door panel. We'll just fast forward as Don removes those three bolts. Pull out on this triangle panel and then pry out on this panel from the outside and then slide it over the handle and out. Now, lift the door panel up and pull it free. Next, pry out your courtesy light and just push it through the door panel, and then pry out on the tab and disconnect the harness. Push the tab on this harness and disconnect it. Then, pry out on the tab on this harness and pull it free. There your door panel is free.
Using a flat blade screwdriver, just pry this clip off your door handle rod, and then pull the rod out. Now, remove this 10 millimeter bolt. Now slide the door handle towards the inside of the vehicle and out. Then just carefully pull back the water shield, making sure you don't damage it. I'll fast forward as Don does this.
Then, pry out this cap. In here, you'll see a 10 millimeter nut, right there, and there's another 10 millimeter nut right inside here, as you can see straight back behind by that green clip, and then there's one more 10 millimeter nut on the back side of the door handle, up in the top left corner. We'll fast forward as Don removes these. You want to use that 10 millimeter wrench for that one in the top left corner, and then, for the other two, through those holes, you can just use a socket and ratchet. Now flip this green clip off the door handle rod and then pull out this lock rod by disconnecting the clip the same way as the green one, and then just angle the door handle down and out. You'll have to swap over your lock, so just pry out this clip and then pull the lock free.
On the left, is the old door handle. On the right, is the new one from 1A Auto. You can see they're identical and they'll fit exactly the same. If you want it to match your vehicle, then you want to just take the door handle to an auto parts store, the paint department, get a can of matching paint, and paint it to match your vehicle.
Push your lock into your new door handle, and then, feed the door handle into place. We'll fast forward as Don replaces those three 10 millimeter nuts. Now re-clip your lock rod and door handle rod and replace this cap. Now, replace your water shield, making sure all the harnesses are pulled through. Put your door handle rod back into place in the interior door handle and re-clip it, and then push the tabs on the door handle back into the door, and slide it back towards the outside of the vehicle. Then replace that 10 millimeter bolt.
Now, to make putting the door panel back on easier, it helps to just pry out your manual lock switch. It just pulls right out. Then you want to reconnect your harnesses, and then pull your courtesy light harness through the door panel and reconnect your courtesy light. Then push it back into place in the door panel. Then put those hooks into those bottom slots and then slide the door panel back in place. Make sure all the clips are lining up, your harnesses are pulled through, and that it's fully back in place. Now line up the rod with the manual lock, and push it back in, and then, replace those three 8 millimeter bolts. Now, you want the inside of this panel to go in first, so slide it over your door handle, and then, tuck that inside end in first, then the middle tab, and then, the back tab. Replace this triangular panel and then reconnect your switch pack harness, push the back end and then push the front end, and you're all set.

In this video we're going to show you outside front door handle replacement on this 2002 GMC Sierra, same as any Sierra, Silverado, also the Yukon, Tahoe, and Suburbans. This does pertain to '99 to '02, '03 and up is a little different to get the door panel off. Tools you'll need are a 7mm and 10mm socket with ratchet and extension, and a flat bade screw driver.
Remove the door panel, pull off that trim panel there. On these '99 to '02s, you can lift it up a little bit, then if you look through you'll be able to see a little metal tab, press on that tab, lift up, that comes up and off. You press on a lever here to disconnect there, disconnect there, use my screw driver. There's a little tab, push in and pry up on the tab at the same time. Disconnect that. With the screwdriver, pop off your lock, and then pop off this panel here around the door handle, and then the back and the light here. Disconnect that light. There are two 7mm bolts, one right here, and then one down under the arm rest. I'm going to fast forward here as I remove those two 7mm bolts that hold on the door panel. Once those are removed, just push your wires through, lift your door panel up and off, and then there is a speaker lead right back here. Press, there's a little tab, press on the tab, pull that apart, and the door panel's off. You can see I've pulled my water shield down, I've got some tape on the window to make sure it stays up. Now I'm going to loosen up two bolts, 10mm, one's right in there, and the other one is right there. Turn your key on, notice I've got my window hooked back up. Now I can move that down.
Remove this window stop right here, it's right above the speaker. Now you can let your window come down. If you've noticed, I've taken the tape off the window now. Bring your window down carefully, all the way. You can actually grab onto the front of it and slide it forward. Three bolts that hold this window regulator rail in, remove them. I'll speed this up as I remove those three bolts. You have to take these bolts out to get the window regulator rail out so you can move it forward and get to the nut on the door handle. Reach in, lift that regulator rail up, you can move the side a little bit. There are three bolts, one right there, you've got two right in through here. One right there. Pry off this cap, and there's one right in there. I'm going to fast forward again as I remove those three 10mm nuts that hold the door handle onto the door. Do your best not to drop them down in the door, but if you do drop them you can just pull your water shield back a little more, reach down in there and get them.
Now your handle's going to come out, and you can see right down here there's a little clip. Reach your finger in and flip the clip off, and then push that rod ... I'm going to reach in from this side. You can push it off easily enough, and just reach in from that side. Up here there's another clip, right there. Reach in, just using my thumb to pull it off. There's your handle out. Pry out this clip here. Once you've pried that out you can work your lock cylinder out. Here's my new handle from 1A Auto. This goes in this way, like I said, the clip's already in there, so you just put it in and press it. You put it in and press it in. I'm going to put the bolt on, and spin this around, and lock it on. Slip that in there, push it in. It's in, push our clip right down, and lock it on. You'll notice I took the chance, while it was off, to clean up around the door handle. I actually put a coat of wax on it too. What you saw me do there is I put the nut into the socket, then fed it in there and started it. I'm just going to fast forward as I start the other two, then I tighten them up with my ratchet. You want to tighten them up snug, but you don't want to over tighten them.
Test to make sure it closes and opens. You want to do that soft because you don't have your window rail in place yet. Fast forward here as I re-hang and then bolt that window regulator rail with the three bolts. Same thing, when you tighten this up you want to make sure that it's tight, nice and firm, but you don't want to over tighten the bolts. You want to take the window, lift it back up, right up, bring it through here. Carefully slide it up into place. Ensure that it's in the right spot. Now we can put this stop back in. We'll use the fast forward button again as we replace that window stop, or the guide, and put the 10mm bolt in and tighten it up. Again, nice and snug, don't over tighten. Turn the key back on, and first make sure that your window is all the way up, nice and tight into your weather strip, then run the regulator up. These go back up in place. Tighten up these two bolts. The key is still on, make sure you still have a working window. Put your water shield back up in place, and then disconnect your switch plate again. Don't forget to put that access plug back on.
Put your door panel back on, that through there. Right down here you can see the tab in the door, so it rests like that on those two tabs. Now you can reconnect your speaker, and put it back on that clip. Make sure the wires are through, and push the door panel on and down. A little fast forward again as I put those two 7mm bolts in that hold the door panel on. Reconnect these harnesses. I kind of surprise myself here as I connect it. Since I hit the door locks the truck must have thought that I was trying to steal it as I reconnected the switch plate, so it just took me a second to find the keys, turn the truck on, and stop the alarm from going off.
