Ok guys, I just pulled off my black door handles and replaced them with the Chrome ones. Below is the step by step instructions:
First, use a flat head screwdriver and carefully remove the hole plug as pictured below:
Then, using a T30 Torx wrench unscrew the screw inside the hole where you just removed the hole plug:
Wiggle the small portion of the door handle until it comes loose and pulls out. You might need to pull open the larger portion of the door handle to give you a little room to maneuver the smaller portion:
Next, we are going to remove the larger portion of the door handle that's left on the door. I have provided a video to show you just how it's done and how easy it is. You are going to be slightly pulling from Left to Right as video'd:
Now to install your new door handle, you are simply going to reverse the steps I just showed you. Make sure you properly lube or grease the contact points on the new handles just like you see on the door handles you just removed. As you could probably tell, there is a "yellow" grease on all contact points on the handle you just pulled out. I just used all that grease, and rubbed in on my new chrome handles. Here is what it should look like when you are done:
Hope you enjoyed the write up...this is a very simple install.
Here are some before and after pics of my truck:
