yeah, mine came right off in my hand... get you a flat head screwdriver and
pull it off or something.

reach your hand in behind the handle and bezel, after it comes out (should
just come out in your hand with a little jiggling).... and there are two
metal rods, detach these rods from the handle, and the whole thing comes
off.

alright, I am trying to get my tailgate handle off and have no clue...I have
removed the three torx screws on the inside of the tailgate but noticed that
it only takes the handle off...I need to get the outer bezel off to get the
handle part out...anyone know how? Maybe someone could scan the FSM for
me...any help will be appreciated!
