It is not that hard... all you have to do is when you have the new door handle you have to take the door panel off on the inside of the car and reach through the holes and unscrew the bolts to the handle and the door handle should come off and put the new one on and put the screws back on and put the door panel back on.

Kick it really hard!
i have a 04 and the door panel comes off easy like on most cars it has little screw clamps witch you just pop out. use some hard flat plastic wedge to get the door panel off.
On the driver and passenger side. There are three screws in the panel. The door latch that opens the door. The door handle you grab to close the door,and one at the very bottom of the panel. That screw is set back in a hole making it hard to see. After removing the three screws start pulling on the panel and it will start popping out away from the door.
pull really hard
The lock actuator is in the rear door, the panel will need to be removed. When the panel is removed you will see the actuator bolted to the door frame. Not to hard to replace.

Take off inside door panel. Here is a video link that shows how. Even with the back door closed you can remove the door panel. You do not have to remove the back seat. You just really need to pull hard on the door panel. After you remove the door panel, use a small screwdriver to push up on the child lock switch. Then you should be able to pull on the rod and open the door. You should replace the outside door handle while you have the door panel off. Watch the video. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUV6BZfVxDY
Unscrew the screws on the side of the door panal and around the door handle on the inside and pull the window lever off. On Probe's with power opt's, the screws will still be near the controller, just don't pull too hard on the panel. You can unclip the controller once the panel is loose.
