Default Uninstall Help

Need some help uninstalling some interior parts. Any help/tips/pics/directions would be greatly appreciated.

Need help taking off the circular pieces around the door handles. Also need help taking off the circular pieces around the seat controls and the seat adjust pivot arm.

Need to uninstall and install new pieces.

Hope the above is clear, pics can be provided.

Thanks in advance

This will get you started.

Pocket size screwdriver in 2 slots, bottom one first, pull bottom out a little, then top, pull top out a little, then pull evenly all around, it'll pop right off.

With a suitable blunt ended tool inserted between the cushion and the handle push the handle retaining spring clip down.
Pull the handle from the shaft.

Remove the screws attaching the seat side trim panel.

Rock the panel side to side working the barrel post clip out of the seat frame.

It's called a service manual. GM releases one for every vehicle they make. Available from your dealer, used on ebay, parts section, etc.
