with the window up remove the screws that hold the door panel on, 2 in armrest, 4 in panel perimeter, one in inside door handle well. Pry out the decorative lock bezel on the inside, where the black trim door sub-panel meets the dashboard (when the door is usually closed)(the part around the lock and handle assembly)(just enough to let it hang by the wires). Next,Pry out the whole door panel straight out, and pop the snap fasters (force required). Remove the armrest bracket(3 screws)(plated part with sharp edges). pull back the weather seal/vapor barier. 2 studs attach the handle. Stick your hand/arm in and feel the bottom of the actuator connecting rod. There is a plastic keep-fitting that needs to be rotated counter-clockwise so the bottom of the rod will travel forward. Pull out the rod, and put on the ground. Remove the Handle nuts from their studs, and remove the old handle. Align the new handle-depressor arm-aperature slot with the flat end of the connecting rod and stick it through the hole in the door. It takes two hands, or a friend, but you have to line it all up at once, then re-install the bottom of the rod and turn the keep-fitting to lock it in. Tighten up the stud bolts on the handle when centered and aligned,(there is a access hole with a removeable black round plug in the door sill above the striker/latch to gain access to tighten the rearward stud. Re-assemble in reverse order. Use a closed fist to re-snap the door snap-together parts.*(make sure the door lock rod fits into its slider-cover or it will not work((the red-lock button)).

Car door will open from the inside but not the outside?
I have a 1992 Chevy Lumina Z34, I had this problem, I bought new handles online, they aren't very expensive and are typically easy to install. If you have a coupe, what happens is that them door are so heavy that over the years they put alot of pressure on the handles mechanisms that they wear out and somtimes break completely, especially in winter. I suggest taking a look at the inside of the handle and inspect the inside. If the lever mechanism doesn't push the rod down correctly, you can either mickey mouse it or just buy a new handle somewhere.
