How do i replace the outer door handle to a '98 chevy chyenne

remove the door trim and inside at the handle you will see 2-3 nuts that hold the handle in the outer skin of the door.

Please see enclosed video.

Remove the door's inner (interior) panel and inspect the trailing edge of the inside of the door. You should be able to see the door linkage from both the inner door handle and (what's left) of the outer handle (try moving the inner handle to see how the linkage is routed. I suspect that when the outer handle broke, its linkage dropped onto the inner handle's linkage and jammed it. With a long screwdriver, try moving the inner handle linkage to release the door latch and then replace the outer handle and its linkage (a salvage yard may be the best source and a Mitchell body repair manual should show hoe the linkage is routed and attached. Good luck.

Inside door handle? unscrew two screws in arm rest, then lift the back of the window switch up and unplug everything, then insert a small screw driver to pop the small taps loose around the outer edges of the door handle trim ring, then lift the door panel straight up. drill the rivet out and slide the handle forward

On the inside trim, you can 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. You'll need to lift the door panel upwards in order to get it off the window ledge. Then you'll need to manipulate the panel and disconnect the door handle linkage from the door handle and disconnect the wiring for your controls. Then you can remove the inner door handle and replace with new one. If it's your outer door handle, pull back the weather seal and disconnect the linkage to the outer door handle and then remove the bolts securing the outer handle to the door

go to a junk yard to get the part... it'll be $50 to $100 at a dealership, plus about $200 for labour charges...

It isn't that difficult of a job.

Pull back the weather seal and you'll be able to see the outer door handle, it should be held in place by two bolts, one on either side of the handle...

roughly 30-60mins to fix

I don't think you need to remove the outer door handle.I hope this helps and google search a bit on it and you will get the answer.According to my experience,to replace the window you don't need to remove to outside door handle..Hope this helps.

yes you can as long as it is 88-98 years the main electical plug may be diferent just cut and splice the wires together blue to blue red to red so on if thare is two of one coler twist them together it will work fine.

You do need to pull off the inner door panel. After the panel is off, you are going to need to disconnect the lock rods from the outer handle and the key cylinder to the door latch mechanism. You will need a long 1/4" drive ratchet and extension, and a 10 millimeter socket. The outer handle is held on by 2 10 mm bolts, you access them thru the inner part of the door. There is a hole provided, with clear tape over it, that will lead you to the harder to see bolt. After the bolts are out, remove the handle, swap the key cylinder into the new handle, and reinstall. Not hard at all. Please let me know if you need more information

never shut the door to test and always remove ign key as sometimes door lock automaticly,as to why doors will not open did you refit the connection from handle to the lock little metal rod with a plastic clip to hold it on ??assuming it has one as i have never seen a chevrolet only an astro van here in spain .to test without shutting door use a screwdriver to close the mechanism .sorry i couldnt be more helpful
