Reply to "Door opener- broken bucket"

‼️please read! It’s worth it‼️

I put the door handles on the car today…

now here is a MAJOR pain in the ass!!!

The original buckets have a little cone shaped indentation where the bolts goes in from the inside to hold the handle on

the new buckets do not have that.. On the one side, it’s good because it gives more meat to bite for the screw on the other hand. What a pain to get the bolts in…

if I would start all over again, I definitely ‼️100% ‼️ would put studs in the buckets that would make the life so much easier! You may have to elongate the hole in the door with a little tiny key file, but so worth it!

So this is the tip of the day: put studs in the buckets with loctite before you put them in - one flat washer, self locking nut And life is good! It will save you two hours (well, it would have saved ME two hours) you can disregard this suggestion if you have micro hands with eyeballs on the tip of your fingers!
