If it's the outer handle you would need to remove the door panel, then remove the rivits that hold the handle to the outside of the car. Then remove the window track and slide it down inside of the door and unhook the rod on the handle,and now you can slide the door handle out.
It all depends on the vehicle that you are working on.
check the pull rod from the inside door handle to the door latch. You have to remove the inner door panel. But first, check the switch on the edge of the door to make sure the child safety lock is not engaged. These were designed to prevent kids from opening the door. there should be a little pin switch close to the actual door latch.
Most likely the outside handle is broken. The ear that the rod connects to breaks off. Only solution is to replace. Remove the inside panel and there will be one or two bolts holding the handle in. ON the back door there should only be one rod connected to it.
Lift the door handle as though trying to open the door. You should see two pins going through the handle assembly. The pins can be pushed out, allowing you to remove the handle.
remove the inner door panel first
