Hi, I'm Don from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and the next time you need a part for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we show you how to remove and reinstall an exterior door handle on this 2006 Chevy Impala. We're doing the driver side rear, which is the same process as the passenger side rear. Also, the same procedure for any Impala from 2006 to 2012. The tools you'll need include a flat blade screwdriver, 7mm and 10mm sockets with a ratchet and extension, some needle nose pliers, and a T30 torx driver.
There are three trim panels. There's one right in behind the door. Just use a small flat blade screwdriver and pry out the little trim panel. There's also a panel right in the door pull area that's just kind of a rubber. It pulls right up. Then there's a small trim panel down near the rear of the door. Pull that out. There's a T30 screw behind the door handle, two in the door pull cup, and a 7mm bolt right back in there. I'm going to speed up here as I remove those three T30 screws and the 7mm bolt. Use your flat blade screwdriver again and carefully pull the little triangle piece of trim at the top off. Then using a putty knife or even a door panel clip tool if you have one, pry out on the door panel and you'll release some clips. Once they pop, they come off.
Then you'll need to lift the door panel up and go in behind. Once you get it up off the door sill, go in behind. The cable snaps in. You just need to squeeze a couple tabs with some pliers and pull the cable back and out. Then the ball pulls right up out of the socket. By the lock switch, you just pry on the tabs a little bit or you could disconnect the harness, but bring that out and the door panel's off. Carefully pull back your water shield. You want to be sure not to rip it or tear it because you will obviously reuse it.
Now go inside the door and two things. You're looking at the yellow clip on the rod that's moving up and down right there. You want to release that yellow clip. I'll show you that in a second. Then there's a 10mm bolt right there that you're going to remove. This clip's shto on a different door, but you can see you kind of grab one edge of that clip, pull it out, and then pull the rod out. We'll fast-forward here as we reach up in there under that clip and rod and then use a 10mm socket and ratchet to remove the bolt.
There are three T30 torx bolts on the edge of the door. You need to remove those just to move the latch assembly out of the way so we can get to the rear bolt that goes on the door handle. We've got the bolts out. We kind of pull that latch assembly forward, but you do have to kind of force the lock knob down in a little bit to get some clearance in behind that latch assembly. Then the bolt is right back in there. You can see we circled the bolt right there. Fast-forward as we use a 10mm socket, ratchet, and extension to remove that bolt. From the outside, pull the handle out and kind of angle it up and it will come out of the door.
You'll want to transfer the pad and possibly even the rod onto your new handle. Put the rod in carefully and handle. Okay, fast-forwarding. You can actually, just by hand, reach right up in and start the bolts in as well as clip the rod back into place and tighten them up. Now put the latch and the three T30 Torx screws back into place and tighten them. You've got to make sure that you have that rod back in place and the yellow clip secured, and put your water shield back in place.
Reinstall the door panel. Bring the door panel close to the door and put the ball and socket from the door latch cable back in. Snap the cable back into its bracket and then put the lock switch back in place. The top of the door panel goes onto the window ledge. Then there are a series of pins that hold the door panel onto the door.
First we'll get the door panel up and secured onto the window ledge. Pretty much, once you do that it's lined up, you can just tap it down and then the pins should be lined right up. Just use a firm fist to set those. We'll fast-forward as we put in the four screws. Again, the one 7mm goes in the back of the door, two T30s down in the door pull cup, and a T30 in behind the door handle. Then finish it off by putting the trim panels back on.

Hi, I'm Don from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we're going to show you how to remove and reinstall a front door handle on this 2006 Chevy Impala, pretty much the same as any 2006-2011. We'll show you the front driver's side, pretty much the same procedure for the front passenger side. Tools you'll need for the job are a small flat blade screwdriver, 8 and 10 millimeter sockets, ratchet and extension, a T30 Torx driver, and a pair of pliers.
Start by pulling up on the door handle and there's a little panel that you just use a small screwdriver to pop out. It pries right out. Then, there's another small panel at your door pull that pulls up and out. Using the same small screwdriver, pry out on the reflector at the bottom corner. We'll fast forward here. Behind where you took the reflector off, there is a 8 millimeter screw to remove and then there are three T30 Torx screws. Two of them are at the door pull and then one of them is behind where the inside door handle is. Remove all three of those. Use a small flat blade screwdriver or some other flat tool to carefully pry on the triangle at the top of the door.
Starting at the top front corner, pull firmly and you'll start to release the clips and you just slide your hand in all the way around and keep pulling the door panel until it's free from the door. Once the clips around the outer perimeter are free, then you can pull the door panel up off the window ledge and out some more. Now, using a pair of pliers, there's little tabs on the cable housing. Pinch the tabs and pull the cable housing though the back side of the door handle and then pull the cable up and out. Then, there is a lock. You pull the white part of the lock back, which unlocks the connector and then you can pull the connector free and take the panel off. Carefully remove the water shield. You want to avoid tearing this, because you are going to re-use it.
Reaching inside the door, you'll find a yellow clip. Pull on that with your fingers. It comes apart and then pull that rod out. You actually do want to remove that rod from the upper door handle as well. There's also another rod in the red clip up there. I can't really film it that well, but push back on it and snap it out.
There are three 10 millimeter bolts: one pretty easy to see there and then two others are further back. The best way to see them is to remove the little grommet around the door lock knob board and then you can see the two additional 10 millimeter bolts back in there. I'm using a 10 millimeter socket with a ratchet to remove that first bolt. Then, we'll actually use an extension and go through that hole where the door lock comes up through and remove the two bolts. Pull out on the door handle and then it comes out of the door. To reinstall, you'll want to make sure you switch the lock over to the new handle, pull out on the handle, and reinsert it into the door.
Fast forward here as we resecure all three bolts. You'll notice we start the bolts by hand first. You can reach right in. Start the bolts by hand first and then tighten them up nice and firm with the 10 millimeter socket and ratchet. Reconnect that rod and, like I said, we didn't show it earlier but you do pull that rod out. Reconnect it up at top and then put it back into the yellow clip and lock that clip in place. Then, again not very easy to film, but you want to put the rod for the door lock back up into the red clip and pull it in place.
Reinstall your water shield. To reinstall the door panel, bring it close to the door, reengage the ball into the door handle, and then, snap the cable housing in place. Now, reach down in and re-connect your harness. You push the two connectors together and then flip the white clip up and over to lock it in place. Be sure to line up the door lock hole with the door lock knob, and then, push the door panel down onto the window sill. Make sure it goes on there correctly. Then, set the clips around the outside edge. Now, reinstall the three T30 Torx screws, one in behind the door handle, and then, the two behind the door pull, and then, once you have those done, re-install the 8 millimeter bolt or screw that goes in behind the reflector on the back of the door. Finish up by reinstalling the triangle trim piece up at the top, the little trim piece that goes in behind your door handle, the trim piece that goes into the door pull cup, and finally the reflector on the back side.
