Hi guys has anyone on here ever changed the short cable on the drivers door external handle. If so is it easy enough to get off of the door handle mechanism itself. It looks like that i can take it off of the door actuator easily enough but the door handle itself might be a different story.
TIA

Or if you prefer words and pictures (for the e90 but same process)

Ah, thought you were asking specifically about the door handle.
This one shows replacing the cable on an F20, likely to be the same or very similar.
