How to Remove the Rear Door Handle of a Camry?

[JosephMarie]

To remove the rear door handle of a Camry, you need to first take off the interior door panel, disconnect the handle linkage rod and remove the fixing screws, then replace and reconnect it. The specific steps are as follows: 1. Remove the screws: Start by removing the screws on the existing door handle and those near the latch plate between the two sides of the door. Generally, the positions of these screws are fixed, but they may vary depending on the type of handle and manufacturer. Simply check for screws around the circular handle plate or the neck of the handle on one side of the door. 2. Remove the exterior handle: After removing the screws, take off the exposed door handle. Once the entire structure is loose, remove the handles on both sides of the door and set them aside. 3. Remove the latch assembly: After removing the door handle, proceed to remove the latch assembly (where the door lock tongue pops out). Unscrew the screws above and below the lock tongue and carefully pry off the latch plate with a flathead screwdriver. Finally, dismantle the internal structure. Once the screws of the latch assembly are removed, you can take it off the door along with the entire internal lock structure. This completes the removal of the door handle.
