Q: How to remove and install the door latch,Lock Cylinder and handle assembly on Honda CR-V?
A: Wear gloves when working inside the door openings to protect against cuts from sharp metal edges. All door lock rods are attached by plastic clips, which can be removed by unsnapping the portion that clips around the connecting rod and then pulling the rod out of its locating hole. On models with power door locks, disconnect the electrical connectors at the latch. To access the door latch, raise the window, then remove the door trim panel and water shield. Pry the rear window guide track lining out of the rear guide track, remove the single bolt securing the rear window guide track, and take the guide track out of the door. Remove the release cables from the door cable clips and the three screws securing the door latch to the door, then slide the latch downward to release the outside latch handle actuator rod. Open the latch protector door on the latch and disconnect the cables from the latch assembly before removing the latch. For the outside handle and door lock cylinder assembly, raise the window and remove the door trim panel and water shield. From the rear edge of the door, remove the plastic protector cap that hides the lock cylinder bolt, then pull the door lock cylinder straight away from the door handle. Release the clip securing the door latch actuator rod to the outside door handle from inside the door, then remove the outside handle retaining fastener. Pull the rear section of the door handle back to release it, pivot the rear section away from the door to free the front section, and remove the handle. For the inside handle, remove the door panel trim, pull the inside door handle to the rear to release the retaining hooks, and remove the cable from the inside door handle before taking out the handle. Installation is the reverse of removal for all components.
