SOURCE: Broken inside door handle-1996 Chevy Silverado Extended Cab

On almost all GM's there will be a screw in the recess that the handle sits in. After removing this screw, gently wiggle this cup out of it's hole and there should be a metal rod attached to the back of it with a small clip. Unclip this and it's out - installation is the reverse. Just don't lose the clip or let the linkage rod fall down inside or you will have to remove the door panel. It shouldn't take five minutes to replace and most parts stores now carry GM door handle assemblies. Good Luck!

SOURCE: 2000 lx 470 driver door panel

You'll need to remove screws that are by the door handle, arm rest, under door and side of door and then gently pull back on the panel as there will also be retaining clips attached and you don't want to break them. If needed, you can pull back the weather seal (can't reuse it, but it's not that important) and you will be able to access everything inside the door

SOURCE: How do I replace the driver's side door handle on

Interior or exterior handle? Remove the door panel first. They make a special tool for removing the window crank, but usually you can get it off with a screwdriver. There is a little clip under the crank that needs to be removed first. Then remove the door handle itself, this has a screw in it. Then pull the panel off. With the window in the fully down position or the up position you should be able to get to the handle itself for the exterior. If it's an interior handle just remove that without taking the door handle off. This is all pretty self explanatory once you see it.

SOURCE: Interior Door Handle

This was a three minute repair, once I had the replacement handle. Leave the door panel alone! Remove the single screw holding the old handle in place. Use a flat blade screwdriver to jimmy the old handle away from the door about an inch. There are two plastic clips holding it to the rods, one for the locking mechanism and one for the latch. Use the flat blade screwdriver to unclip these two connectors. Remove the broken latch, and don't worry, the rods won't disappear into the door! Reverse these steps with the new handle (insert rods, attach clips, wiggle assembly into place, and fasten with single screw). You're done!

Rear door zr2 tracker 2003 wont unlock

Open the window and reach out to open the door with the outside door handle,before closing the door and locking it, remember to put the window back up.

As for the trunk it should have a emergency release trunk handle from the inside.

What's involved in replacing the a/c line for a 2002 Chevy Tracker ZR2 (small suv)?

Well your mechanic he is not a proper mechanic as i would make one ,failing which shop around scrappers or a few hydraulic repair shops who will have the tools to repair or make you a new one which your so called back street mechanic should know about.sounds like you need to find a proper qualified mechanic instead of a dealer type of semi skilled unit changer.

Only way is to get a coat hanger and make a small hook on one end and try to slide it between the window and door panel and try to hook the door latch from inside the door.

I have a 2002 chevy tracker, can I put 215/15 tires on it without doing something to suspension. It's not a ZR2

the correct size is listed on the drivers door jamb. if you put a taller tire on, the speedometer will read slower than you are actually going. As long as nothing rubs when you are turning right or left it should be ok, make sure you have at least 1 inch of clearance everywhere.
