Answer 1

The inside door panel has to come off and then the water deflector paper has to come off to be able to see the handle, all rods and linkage has to be disconnected from the handle and then you will see 2 metric bolts that hold the handle on, take them out and the handle will pull out from the outside, then just install the new one.

Answer 2

take it to a pro...its a 50 -70 dollar labor charge,,,,,you will ruin more stuff on your car than the labor charge is gonna be  and u will still have to have someone do it for you...we are all for you wanting to do things on your own car...but start off with easier things than this repair....... level 5 on a 1-10 scale  

Answer 3

first roll the window up then pull the door panel if not power windows pull the window crank theres a pin on the back of it u can pop off with a flat head and neddele nose plyers.once the door panel is off disconect any power windows or locks. when this is done pull the factory plastic sheet off the door to get access to the back of the handle.here you will disconect the lock and door latch rods from the handle,then you can undo the two bolts from back of the handle.when you have done this simply grab the outside of the handle pull up and out and reverse the pross to install. make sure you hook up power to the door panel before u s***w it back on,common mistake done it myself.
