In this video we're going to show you how to remove the third door handle, the door handle for each of the rear doors, I guess we would call it, on this 2004 GMC Sierra Extended Cab: a pretty easy operation. You just need a T27 Torx bit with a ratchet. You take the third door handle, a pretty easy replacement, it's just two T27 Torx bolts and what you want is a T27 bit with a ratchet, like that. Just remove these two bolts.
It's funny, the owner of this truck said to me, "Why would you want to do a video for that? I never use it." That kind of rang to precisely the point of it. These either break because they get used a lot or what will happen is they'll never get used and the mechanisms inside will get gunked up or frozen up and somebody will go to use it and break it.
I'll show you a little later how to lubricate the mechanisms too, so you don't have that happen. OK, we'll fast forward here just a little bit. OK, so the handle just comes right out. Here's our new handle from 1A Auto. You see it's all the same; it will go in the same.
Now before you put it back in, though, what you want to do is, this is the latch mechanism, you just see you just push it into there, what you want to do is spray some lubricant right down in here. I spray some stuff right down in there and then we'll open it up. Open it up and up here, you'll want to spray and then down below at the bottom and there's another latch. This is the latch that will really get gunked up and frozen.
Now take our new handle and you can see this plate kind of shifts back and forth and it has the bolt holes in it. Put your bolt through and you kind of want to force the screw in and pry it to the side a little bit to get it started into that plate. OK, and we'll just speed it up here as I finish installing those two T27 Torx screws.

The ext. door handle that I ordered actually was for the back door of a 2000 Chevy Silverado Extended cab. To access the door handle, you must first open the front door , so it is actually inside the cab. The whole install took about 5 minutes, including pulling out the old one. New one works perfect and I am happy it was an easy fix. Thanks -Ted
Easy!

The handle ordered was exactly the same as the original OEM. I watched the installation video and was prepared with my 27 Torx tip. After removing the two screws I followed the installation advice and sprayed WD-40 on the upper, middle, and lower latch mechanisms and then installed the new handle. It fit exactly as the original and only needed the two Torx screws to be tightened and it worked perfectly. The original handle broke at the small lever that engages the latch mechanism. Prior to the original handle breaking I noticed it was getting harder to open the door; it seemed to be sticking and required more force to open the door. After looking at where it broke and realizing it was getting harder to open I would certainly make sure to keep the 3 latch mechanisms lubricated in the future to prevent a repeat breakage.
Very easy.

I'm only adding a review to point out that not all models use a T27. My 2005 GMC Sierra's bolts were a T30.

These arrived and went right in with 2 screws. They work just as well as the originals, and are equal in strength too. I wish I'd replaced them a while ago. Thanks!

My drivers side back door handle was broken. I ordered 2. I watched a YouTube video on how the repair was made. One of the easiest repairs I have made. Take a T 27 torx head bit, loosen 2 screws, pop the old one out. install the new one and you are done. 5 minutes top each door. The price was very good and they ship the same day.
Perfect fit

The part looked just like the original and installed in less than 2 minutes. The video regarding the part included oiling the top and bottom locking mechanisms, something I probably would have overlooked otherwise.
Very good quality and good price.
