Default How To remove...

I need to know how to remove the door panel for an 1989 because my side mirror cracked and broke. Technically i just need to know how to remove the side mirror, also how to change the steering wheel. Pictures would be great. If you have a site with "how to" stuff would be great, because i plan on doing the inter-cooler and water pump and such. Thanks

There are 5 or 6 screws along the bottom of the door panel. Take them out.
There are two screws under plastic caps at the front of the door panel. Take them out.
There are two screws under the two plastic plugs in the door handle, use a tiny screw driver to pry the rubber plugs out and remove the screws.
The speaker grill is held on with three spring clips. Use a screwdriver to pry the rear edge outward, the grill will pop loose then you can pull the front clip loose; They pull straight out.
Under the speaker grill you will see the two remaining screws holding the handle in place, remove them.
Take out the door handle and disconnect the harness from the back of the window switch.
In the cup where there's the lever for opening the door there is one screw. Remove it.
There is a plastic tab built into the cup to fill the gap under the lever (if someone hasn't already broken it out ); Lift up on the lever and then pop the plastic tab in ward so it folds down under the lever, now lift the cup out past the lever (it can take a bit of wiggling and firm tugging).
Now work your hand along the edge of the door and pull the panel toward you, there are a couple push in plastic clips which will pop loose.
The panel will flip out from the bottom, disconnect the harness from the back of the courtesy light (pull the light housing out from the front via the two screws if you can't get the plug loose from the back) and now just lift the harness upward.

The mirror is held by three screws behind a black plastic plate. The plate just has three push in tabs holding it in place. It pull straight out; using a very small screwdriver (a stiff plastic utensil such as an "orange stick" used in laptop, cell phone and electronic repair is even better) pry at the panel evenly and keep working your way around until it is free. Prying at just one corner will almost assure a broken tab.
