Need to remove inside handle to take off inside door panel

Only way is to get a coat hanger and make a small hook on one end and try to slide it between the window and door panel and try to hook the door latch from inside the door.

Make sure window is up. Remove inner door panel. Disconnect latch mechanism. Should be a few nuts holding handle on. Unscrew them. Install front door outside handle frame sub-assembly. Using a torx wrench (Usually T30) install the outside handle.

you need to remove the inside door panel first. there will be a screw at the inside door handle and two screws for the armrest in the center of the panel. look around the outside edges of the panel for any other screws or clips to remove. the rest of the clips are behind the panel and snap when you pull on the panel. once off with the window up you can see the door handle screws. two of them. remove the connecting rods first.depending on which door you may have a lock rod also. then remove the screws and the handle will come out. good luck

door handle linkage has come loose. possibly linkage securing clip has broken. need to remove inside door panel somehow reach inside door and open it then you will be able to continue making repairs. good luck. not easy. but it can be done.

On the inside trim, you can remove screws that are by the door handle, arm rest, under door and side of door and then gently pull back on the panel as there will also be retaining clips attached and you don't want to break them. You'll need to lift the door panel upwards in order to get it off the window ledge. Pull back the weather seal and you'll be able to get to everything. Either the bolts holding the outer handle on has broken or fallen out, or the handle anchor (plastic) has broken

You have to remove the outside part of the door panel. The screws are located around the edge of the inside panel. There is a pin in the outside handle that needs to be removed, prop it in the up position w/ a screwdriver handle or something, remove carefully if you can. The mirror comes off and a couple of more screws by inside handle ect. then you'll have both in and out off. Rather simple procedure if you're mechanically inclined.
