THANKS. I NEED TO GET MY 96 OPEN. IT'S DENTED AND THE HANDLE IS NOT TOUCHING WHATEVER IT'S SUPOSTA TOUCH.

hi i'm currently also trying to change the handle assembly. you can open the tailgate from the inside.on the bottom of the liftgate is a 1 inch plug near the pulldown handle. pop that out then stick a 6 inch flat screwdriver into the hole.you'll be piercing a rubber membrane.by feeling around you'll feel the horizontal latch release,about 3-4 inches in.pry down on the handle of the screwdriver in the hole to lift the latch release . you should be able to push the tailgate open. hope this helps. i'm stuck at how remove the outside handle assembly. i have a 2000 grand but they should be the same
