    When I put my key in the driver dor lock it just spins. I figure there is a rod.bar or something that got loose.

    How do I remove my door panel without messing it up? Do I need a special tool?

    Thanks in advance

    '70-'72 door handle/armrest are different. the '73-'77 have 2 more screws than the '70-'72s.
    one is hiding behind a plastic cup behind the handle. some cups have a screw you can see and the other one, the cup just snaps in (no screw). the other screw is at the top of the handle behind the chrome trim ring.
