disassembling 80/90/200 door handles

[Kneale Brownson]

There's a pin that holds the cover on the part of the handle you lift to
open the door.  Bentley says remove the cover first to avoid damage.  The
surround is held in place by a screw from the back.  You have to remove the
inner door panels to get to the screw.
