Tough task... Door handle is riveted to door so you'll need to drill out the rivets. These are replaced with flat head machine screws and lock nuts. I had to shorten one of the screws to allow the window mechanism to go by when rolling the window up or down. Need to remove the inner door panel to get to the inside of the door. Previous steps are easy. Toughest part is rod that connects the handle to the latch. You cannot get your hands in there to access it. I cut the old handle apart to get it out. I had a rod from the replacement handle that I modified to make it easier to install. I decreased the radius (unbent) of the bend where it enters the handle so it would slide into the handle easier when it was installed in the car. Also remember to disconnect the battery or the theft system will start blowing the horn in the middle of the job...I should know. I did this job on my car but it was not easy. Took several hours.
