240 door assembly

[rand_daddy]

How do you detach the top (next to the speaker) of the door handle on
a '92 240? It seems to be attached from inside, but the inside cap is
made of plastic and is smooth, nothing to grab with wrench. Since its
plastic, I don't want to much pressure, or it might crack.

Thanks, Rand

You rotate the handle until the tabs slip out of the slots, once you have it
out it'll be obvious but it's a bit difficult to describe. It has a peg with
two small "wings" on it that twist-lock into a slotted hole.
