You need to open the door to remove the handle, ask a locksmith to open it with a 'slim jim' then once it is open you can remove the broken handle assembly. Once removed you can see what you need to replace.

You have to pull the interior door panel off, remove the two fastners that hold the exterior handle on....disconnect the two plastic clips for the lock rod....reinstall in reverse order.....have some metric sockets on hand and an extension.

first remove the door panel after you have completed that remove the 3 bolts holding the handle in place, pull the handle out on the reverse side there will be a connecting rod with a retainer clip holding the rod to the door handle remove the retainer clip and rod and remove the broken handle follow instructions in reverse to reinstall new handle
