door handle bezels

[Gerry]

Is there an easy way to remove the inside handle bezels to sand blast.

3 hands help, but 2 bodies gets a little crowded.

You need to compress the smaller, upper ring into the larger, lower ring by raising the lower ring so that you can push out the pin in the door handle; and oh, by the way don't lose that little pin. A proper size pin punch is the best way (I think it is a 1/8th inch punch).

Then everything should come off. Theoretically, anyway. If nothing is rusted or jammed.

Are you going to media blast the bezels? I think they are aluminum. Maybe use stripper instead? I don't remember if mine were plastic blasted or chemically stripped.

Good Luck with your project!

The bezels are steel.
