I just did this today! Firstly, it's easier if you unbolt the door at the top and bottom front hinges so that it can swing out (make sure you rest it on a milk crate or something to support the back hinge). Next you need to remove the inside handle which will slide off once you remove the locking pin holding it in place. Then pop off the inside door panel and slide it up over the lock. Peel away the plastic sheet (this can be messy if it's a warm day like today). Then you have to unbolt the three bolts holding in the entire latch/lock assembly, and unclip the plastic clip holding the lock, which will give you access to the nut holding the rear handle in place. The front nut is accessible from the front edge of the door. Undo the plastic clip holding the metal arm of the handle in place, and pull out the old handle piece.

How do you remove the inside of the sliding door panel on a 95 Toyota Previa in order to change out the outside door handle?

I learned that the trick to removing the inside handle is to place a piece of cloth in the gap between the handle and cover and work it back and forth, eventually popping the clip off and sliding the handle out. It worked. You replace the clip by pushing with a flat screwdriver.

HVLP Sprayers are able to handle both exterior and interior paints, that's why they are HVLP sprayers you know! Back in my day we only had HVL sprayers and those can only handle exterior paints.
