Been trying to take the old plastic door handles off, and not having any luck unscrewing the blocks on the inside edge of the door, tried using penetrating fluids, but its still not budging!

any ideas? :s

The blocks? Are they attached to the door? I think they have to stay on if your thinking of the same thing as me

No no, my white blocks came off, it just took an awful lot of persuasion and I've now got slight problem with rounded screws.. but I got them off and screws replaced :thumbsup:

White blocks ? Do you mean the door lock/latch. If so the right sized screw driver helps, or screwdriver bits fitted to a ratchet spanner/socket.

Penetrating Fluid tends not to work you will most probably need an Impact Driver and a Hammer to free them first ;)

You need a big screwdriver to undo those big'uns. They wont budge and will round off if you use a screwdriver any smaller.
