Successfully done on a 98 Eclipse R/S w/o power locks or windows. The replacement exterior door handle typically comes with a new rubber/plastic seal and a new lock cylinder retaining clip.
First, remove the 6 screws holding the interior molding to the door (x2 screws at the hinge, x2 screws at the jam end, x1 screw holding the molding at the interior door handle, x1 screw under a plastic cover in the door well (place to grab when closing door)). Remove the retaining clip from the window handle (if present) and remove the handle.
Gently remove the interior door molding that's held in place by plastic clips. Roll up the window the whole way. Remove the bolt on the jam side of the door adjacent to the handle. This is one of 2 screws that holds the handle on. The other handle is located inside the void within the door. Peal back the plastic barrier on the latch side of the door to gain access to the bolt on the interior side of the door. To remove this bolt, I used vice grips to hold a 1" long 10mm hex bit socket to remove the remaining bolt. Once the bolts are removed, disconnect the x2 connecting rods (x1 for latch, x1 for interior lock switch) and remove the handle.
Remove the lock cylinder from the old handle and install in the replacement handle. Seat the new handle in the door and install the x2 bolts to hold in the handle. Once the handle is secured, reconnect the x2 connecting rods and reinstall the interior door molding, screws and window handle.

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.
