I need to service my door latches and locks. What's the best solvent to remove the old grease, and the best stuff to re-lube the mechanisms?
Also, is there an on-line reference to removing the door panels on a
Should I have any replacement parts on hand before I start? (linkages and or door panel rivits?)
TIA
...
Use a rag with nothing on it. You don't really need to remove ALL of the old grease. Use white lithium grease to lube it. NOT the locks, of course. A little graphite goes a long way there.
Arm rest screws. Little screw up near the mirror, usually behind a plastic plug.
If you're careful or you buy a panel removal tool (generic) you won't break the silly little plastic rivets and you won't pull them out of the door panel by mistake (could mean a new door panel)
Thanks, I'll look for one of those tools.

Look for the Motormite "Help!" section at the auto parts store.
The plastic doo-dads are commonly called "trees"
(this says Chrysler Caravan, Cirrus, Neon, Stratus & Voyager #6504014 1995-on but it's the same as the Jeep part, just white, not yellow, whaaaah!)
