71 Cuda : Replacing outside door handles; PIA?

[DocMel]

My 71 Cuda outside door latches are getting really ratty:   Ive got a new set:   Are changing them out a big PIA?

[MEK-Dangerfield]

They are only held on by one nut that is accessed using ratchet with an extension thru an opening behind the door panel. The toughest part is getting the linkage for the door lock and door latch on and off. Having large hands is a handicap there, but long fingers help.

Cuda is convex curve challenger is concave (might have that reversed but they are opposite of each other) on the shape of the hndle body to match the door contour.
