^ If no green dots are present on the replacement part, then the following two steps must be performed:
a. Check the bearing bracket for any sharp plastic burrs or sharp edges. Round the edges and remove any burrs with a small metal file.
b. Apply a protective fabric strip around the Bowden cable where it touches the bearing bracket.
3. Replace the exterior door handle bearing bracket assembly, including the Bowden cable.
Tip: It is not necessary to replace the door lock mechanism, nor is it necessary to replace the interior door handle Bowden cable.
