This video tutorial demonstrates how to replace an exterior front door handle on the Ford Transit Mk5 Van (V184, V185). The process involves opening the car door, unscrewing the fastener of the exterior door handle using a 10mm socket and a ratchet wrench, removing the exterior door handle, transferring the lock rod to a new exterior door handle, installing the new handle, and tightening the door handle fastener using a 10mm socket.
For the Ford Econoline door handle, the repair can be done in about 25 minutes using rope tools. For the Ford Transit Mk7 van, the replacement procedure is identical for both left and right front door handles. All work should be carried out with the ignition switched off.
In this video tutorial, the steps for removing and replacing the exterior door handle of the Ford Transit are illustrated, covering all experience levels.

To replace the right front outdoor door handle on a 1996 Ford E250 15 passenger van, remove the screws around the edge of the door card and remove the interior panels to expose a hole in the sheet metal through which you detach the handle.
The process requires unbolting and removing the rear-most window guide, which slides downward from a clip at the top of the door. Use a small flat head to pop it up and locate the hinge that the clip is attached to.

Wow a relatively new article that’s about to save me a bunch of money replacing all my pops workvan doors 😂… He’s got over 200k on it and besides the rust, his door handles are the only broken thing on it. Poorly and cheaply designed unfortunately but I’ll definitely get the metal handles. Only the 2 front doors open from the outside so it’s getting to be a real pain in the ass 🤣
Did one of these today. A little bit different on a 2014 E-350 passenger van, although maybe that had to do with the handle being plastic? I had to use stainless fasteners, but they were like yours–hex socket, pan-head, 1/4-20 thread; I buttered up the holes in the door and the shafts of the screws with Tef-Jel to hopefully prevent the steel from rusting due to contact with stainless in an exterior environment. If it were my van, I’d have chosen to rivet it, probably. But those screws with a lock nut should be pretty secure. (Just did as I was told–it’s the shuttle where I work, so it’s a company vehicle.) If they want to steal it, they’re going to steal it…
