Got the car back from the speed shop today and the driver's outside door handle is not letting the door open. Normally we never lock the doors but since it was at a shop we did. I bet someone pulled too hard on the outside handle but can't prove it.
Took the inside door panel off to look. The inside release works fine but it looks like the outside handle mechanism has it's own geometry going on. Whatever is suppose to release the spring to pop the catch lever open is not releasing the spring.
I don't don't want to wrestle that whole mechanism out of the door unless I have to. I don't even have a big enough screwdriver to turn those big screws on the door jamb. Any clever ideas on what to do?
Does anyone have an exploded view of this part? Any help would be appreciated.
