piece of cake. I just did that today with my truck. I'd explain it but another member here already did a write up on it.

read that write up, but didn't really help me. Ended up breaking the handle off on accident... still not sure what the paper clip is supposed to be pushing on to release and I can see the whole thing. Guess i'm not seeing something? I unscrewed the ring that holds the two pieces together and installed the new plastic, then put the broken one on for now, till I order a new handle, hopefully it will come with instructions!
