Some helpful instructions/tips on how to replace your door handles.

Start removing the front door panel by using the screw driver to pop-off the triangle shape panel that covers the sideview mirror screws.

Then pry off the panel around the inside door handle and the lock button cover.

There are 3 screws that hold the door panel on. First screw is located just behind where the lock cover was. The second crew can be found under/behind the door panel grab handle. Lastly the third screw can be found at the bottom side of the door panel.

With the screws removed you will be able to move the door panel up about half an inch.

The door panel light will remove by gently pulling on the lamp socket for the light. On the opposite side of the window switches you will need to press each press clip and remove the wiring harness. At this point door panel can be set aside.

3 nuts now hold the door handle assembly on the door skin. There is a black plug that you will need to remove from the edge of the door. The 2 remaining nuts will need to be removed by reaching up between the the door frame.

With all 3 nuts removed there are 2 plastic clips that you will need to seperate from the locking rods and then pull the rods off the mechanism. You should be able to handle the door handle assembly away from the vehicle now. There is a small clip that holds a plate to the back of the lock cylinder. Slide the clip and remove plate. Holding the lock cylinder in place now is a c-style clip. Use a screwdriver the pry that clip away from the lock cylinder. The lock cylinder can now be removed and installed into the new handle assembly.

Follow these instructions backwards to install. Very similair process for the rear door panels. Pictures were to large to post so I will supply link to view later.
