Q: How to replace the tailgate handle on a pickup on Chevrolet S10?
A: You need a flat-blade tool to remove the pickup box endgate handle bezel before taking out the endgate bedliner. The bolts which grip the pickup box endgate handle to the endgate should be taken out. When you raise the endgate handle you will find access to its lower latch rod retaining clip which you can then disconnect to slide out the rod. Position the lower handle downward until you can reach the upper latch rod retaining clip. Disconnect this clip and slide the upper latch rod out. Begin installation of the new pickup box endgate handle by placing the handle in an upward position to insert the lower latch rod into the retaining clip and reattach the clip. Next lower the handle to insert the upper latch rod and reconnect its retaining clip. Fasten the pickup box endgate handle onto the endgate through bolting while tightening the fasteners to 25 N.m (18 lb ft). Once complete, reinstall the endgate bedliner and fit the endgate handle bezel around the handle before pressing the bezel until retainers fully settle into position.
