    Bought OEM carbon exterior door handles for my 812. When I remove screw I still can’t seem to get the door handle to come off. Same issue on driver and passenger side.

    Anyone know the trick?

    The allen screws came out without any issues? Usually, they are hard to remove because of loctite.

    Turned out by spraying some DW40 and letting it sit I could eventually pull off the handles. Definitely a pain. And then the carbon handles were not properly formed by Ferrari’s vendor so now I have to return them and order another set. Classic! The carbon parts didn’t have the slots clearly formed so I couldn’t get them on the latches. Super annoying!

    I think your best bet is to keep soaking and let it sit. I also used a rubber gripper like what you would use to open a jar to grip it. But it just needs more grease in the screw hole and the opposite end and time to soak.
