THEN ACCESS THE TWO NUTS/BOLTS ATTACHING IT THE THE DOOR FRAME. THEN REMOVE THE RODS ATTACHED TO THE HANDLE GOING TO THE LATCH/LOCKING MECHANISM AND REVERSE THIS PROCEDURE FOR INSTALL.

take the 5 screws out of the door panel and use a trim tool from your local auto parts store and pop the plastic snaps holding your door panel in then you can access the screws holding the handle in your door...

take the door pannel off there will be a 10mm nut holding it on also there is a 10mm bolt on the side of the door you must remove also. after just pop the handle out disconect lock rods and its off

There are plastic clips that hold the rods in place - one for the rod that goes to the exterior handle and another that goes to the exterior lock. You need to snap the plastic clips around so they release and then the rods will pull right out.

You will need to remove the door panel to gain access to the handle. Roll the window up or down as needed to get to the nuts that attach the handle to the door. You will also need to remove a rod the goes to the door lock. You will see the rod after the door panel is removed. Good luck.
