remove the door inner trim panel and peel back the plastic weathershield,
with the window fully raised,undo the retaining bolts from the base of the window guide,remove the guide from the door.
release the retaining clips on the link rods to the lock assembly.
unscrew the two handle nuts and detach the lock cylinder mounting plate from the rear of the handle.
lift the retaining clips on the base of the handle,and remove the handle from the outside of the door.
re-fitting is a reversal of the above. :thumbs:
