i'm going to attempt this from memory o.k.! someone correct me if i leave something out.
first, remove the sail panel ( this is the panel mounted right behind the mirror). it just pops off if you pull on it from the back with your fingers. you could also pry out door lock button at this point, but since it has such small unforgiving clips on each side i would leave them on during removal. however, they will need to come off during installation to line them up with lock trigger in door. they are easier to remove from inside the panel once removed.
second, you need to remove the door switch panel. you can pull up on it, or you can use a small screwdriver in each of the little slots on the front edges of the panel to release the locking tabs. be careful!! i've seen the edges of the door panel damaged if not removed right. once removed disconnect the wiring harnesses.
third, you will see a screw in the middle of the panel behind the grab handle ( if the mounting tab for the handle is broken, which they often do, stop!! take your truck to the dealer for warranty repair. when you get your truck back continue with handle swap). you want to do this because they will say you broke the handle when you swapped out for chrome Cadi one's.
fourth, look for two more screw's. one at the rear corner from where the switch panel was removed from and the other at the bottom of the door panel.
fifth, lift the panel straight up and out to expose the courtesy light harness and speaker harness. diconnect both.
next, you need to remove the small black plastic cover inside of the door to the right of the exterior handle as you look at the truck from the rear. you will have to also remove the plastic adhered to the the door just enough to give you access to the handle screws. i believe there are three screws holding the handle if i remember correctly. one accessible from the small hole revealed once the black plastic cover is removed. the other two will be accessed from inside the door itself. warning!! the power window lift/lower bar is extremely sharp.
be careful working around it. you will also have to removed the door lock actuator rods connected to handle. they just pop out of the plastic connectors.
now with the handle removed find a nice clean and padded place to work. at the top of the handle you will need to flatten the beveled area of the pin. once flatten drive the pin out with a hammer and a punch. be careful not to hit the handle with the hammer or scrath it with th eside of the punch. it's a good idea to put a semi thick cloth between the handle and punch. once out, install the new chrome handle.
do everything in reverse now. ditto for the other front door.
now for the rear doors. remove screw from behind door pull handle. then, remove the second screw from the bottom front edge of the door panel. by the way you could pry out the door opening handle trim at this point, but again something that has unforgiving little tabs on it. you can still remove the panel with little effort. just have to lift up on handle and pull panel up, out , and to the front. piece of cake. from this point everything is pretty much the same. remember to remove the door lock button before assembly.
i suggest you install the inside chrome Cadi handles like i did. you are already there with this install. you might as well just through 'em on. real easy to do. just unbolt the old one. disconnect the door release actuator rod, and hook up the new handle.
that pretty much covers it though. i know i left something out i just can't remember what. this should be everything however. if you have questions or run into problems shoot me an e-mail or a post.
not that big of a deal i guess, but i had prematurely installed the chrome handle thinking the bezel would be ready the next day. when it wasn't i figured i would use the stock bezel but it would not fit over the Cadi handle.
