Moose Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Took the door handles off but the studs holding them in were rusted and broke off. Any way I could salvage them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglescout526 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 If its plastic, not really. I suppose you could remove the old stud and glue or JB weld another one in its place. Or some members have metal handles(Chrome but paintable) that the stud normally doesn't break but is threaded into the handle so if it breaks it can be replaced. I know I broke my drivers side handle studs. Just ended up replacing the handle until I got my metal handles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose Posted April 18, 2020 Author Share Posted April 18, 2020 Decided to try to drill and tap new threads and grinding down the stud heated the glue/plastic enough to pop out the dowel inside the handle. Gonna attempt to jb weld them back in with threaded holes and use bolts instead of nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in Canada though and after a quick search it's seems to be around 50$ per handle up here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
