On the inside door panel, remove any visible screws, and look for round or square plastic plugs that you can pry a small flat screwdriver into and pop them out. Chances are there are hidden screws behind them holding the door panel on. After all screws have been removed, pop the door panel off with a larger flat screwdriver. The clips may break, but they really ought to be replaced anyway to ensure a tight fit. Unplug power lock and window and light connectors and remove door panel. Cut through any paper or plastic insulant, you can re-tape it later. You'll see a rod going to the door handle. It is held on with a clip that you will have to pop up , then slide out. The door handle itself is held on with 2 10 mm. nuts, Remove them and the handle will fall out to the outside. You can get replacement door panel clips at just about any parts store , and if you want a good tight fit, you should replace them. Once you pop them out, they never hold as tight again.
