I have picked up 4 8 ball door knobs & was wondering if there is an easy way of removing the old knobs & replacing them? Do I have to pull the doors apart to get to the mechanism??

I have sent yo a PM but there is info on this topic in the Interior Section down towards the bottom.
Good luck.

You are right! I saw the topic & will give it a go tonight.

I have replaced the door knobs myself, and if I can do it, anyone can, all you have to do is pull them right up and twist the original off, and carefully replace without pushing down too hard, with the new ones, I have the ones with the coloured crystals and I assume they would be fairly similar.
TEEKAY

No worries, all done, a real easy 5 min job.

I got Skulls

i am still after some bullets.

I've got skulls too....

I've got real bullet casings over the knobs in Gangster. They're a nice tight fit over the existing knobs, but on my long list of jobs to do the plastic ones need to be trimmed down ... so when the knob pops up you don't see plastic below the brass. Another thing I haven't done is shined the casings up and put a coat of clear over them, so they don't tarnish.

So there's a project for you. I may have some spares in the shed, but if I mail them to you we might both get arrested!!! Perhaps use your Army contacts to get a set.

I have PT ones - Wendy you would be proud of me I unscrewed these and installed them myself as well as sticking on the wheel centre caps and new stars on the side badging from Cruisin on!! got a way to go before I touch the innards I suspect

Me too

....must put them on one day tho

LOL TIna

i have the red jewel's on mine. paul just put some clear tubing on the stem to stop the wobbles on top.

Ive had The PT one's on from start, And although there is a bit of a gap Mine have never rattled or made any noise??? But I like the Idea of the clear tubing, Have to go get some once Ive recovered.

definatley works Scott, I've had the tubing on my skulls for years.

Another trick I found handy was if like with my skulls you wanted them to face a ceryain way it way really hard as it just depended on where the thread started and finished. I just rolled up alittle piece of paper and put inside the new door knobs I was putting on which then meant they would screw down as far and you could get them to face the right way.
