I have both lower screws front and back out and the twist lock handle removed. Does the grab handle come off, it has a screw in the bottom but not the top, also does the door opener handle need to come off.

On my 69 the grab handle has to be removed, 2 screws, and the handle to open the door, 1 screw, inaddition to what you have already removed.

Hi t,
I agree with MW, 2 screws on the door pull.
I also take off the latch handle while the panel is still on. Otherwise, it needs to slide through the panel as you take the panel off. It's pretty easy to get off, but harder to get back on once the panel is back in place.
Regards,
Alan
