Replacing 147 Exterior Handle

Recommended Posts

So it happened.. the drivers side exterior door handle snapped on my 147!

 

I picked up a replacement from my local scrappy and tried to follow this guide, however, half way through I found that the guide was for a pre facelift whilst mine is a facelift: http://www.alfaworks...or_handle.shtml

 

I managed to get the door card off and bring it to this point:

However, I have no idea whatsoever how to actually take the existing door handle off and replace it with the new:

Can anyone please advise me on what to do next?

 

Currently unable to drive the car.

 

Thanks!

As far as I'm aware there are no differences between the early and late 147s concerning the door. The exterior handle material is different (metal / plastic) but everything else should be the same. I think the guide only gets detailed as far as removing the internal handle, but you're pretty close now. Look at the 3rd pic from bottom, that's how you loosen the external handle, you might need to release the rod first.
