Honda 72150-SR2-A12 Left Front Door Lock Assembly

To replace the outside door handle, therefore, one has to take off the inside door handle, the door trim panel as well as a plastic shield. Wind it around the handle opening since this is the area that the paint is most likely to get damaged. For rear doors, a position of rear glass channel must be changed, to do this , the upper channel nut has to be loosened and the lower bolt has to be removed then the channel has to be shifted forward. Secondly, thereafter, unscrew the door handle retaining bolts and if possible do away with the door latch so as to get better access to the door. With the help of a small flat-bladed screwdriver, pry the lock rod loose, pull the handle outwards from the door and turn it anti-clockwise to de-thread it from the release rod. The process of removal is done in an order of inversion to the process of installation. The lock cylinder can be replaced by first removing the outside door handle and by pulling a retainer clip to remove the lock cylinder from the handle; the installation process is the reverse of the removal process. For the latch, if not done earlier, remove the lock and inner handle rod, take the door latch retaining screws, and slowly pull the latch out of the door making sure not to bend the rods. Remove the lock and release rods from the latch assembly and replace it with new latch unit and installation process is just vice versa.

Or every 3000 miles or every 3 months, a few drops of light oil or lock lubricant to all the hinges and latch assemblies on the doors and the hood and trunk or lift gate. In addition, the door latch strikers should be lubricated with thin layer of grease to reduce amount of friction as well as increase rate of working. Doors as well as the boot lid/trunk lid (lift gate) should have its lock apply with the spray-on graphite lubrication.
