Where is that thread? Had all the instructions in it...might be missing after the site change.

Anyways, the first thing to do is open the door and pull that rubber plug out. Inside is a Torx bolt. (Size 40???), loosen it. Don't try to force it out.

Once that is loose, the key assembly should slide right out, then pull door handle out and towards your position (opening of door).

Then reverse to install. Time yourself. I think fastest person here was 10 minutes.
