What you do is open door and remove the door insert, undo every screw and then with a screw driver take care not to scratch the paint work, so wrap the end of the screwdriver. Up with the hanky ( the blade end) then gently prise open gently the insert , then once you have taken the insert off , remove the plastic only around where the door handle should be, you then reach in and feel for the door handle and around it you should feel a couple of nuts , they should be either a 8mm or 10mm spanner, undo the nuts and when you take out the nuts. Then from the outside wriggle the door handle until it half comes out and then disconnect all the rods that go to your inner door handle and the rod to your door handle!!. To replace it is reverse of what you just done but with the new handle

Rear 2007 pajero wagon back door handle broken

Get a replacement handle. Depending on whether it's an inside or an outside handle it isn't a difficult job to do yourself. It will cost you a bit of time, effort and the skin off at least 2 knuckles. It is basically open the door with the other release handle. Remove the door card and unbolt or unscrew the handle. Disconnect the pull levers and rods to drop the handle out. Fit the new one, connect the levers and rods. Bolt/screw it in place and refit the door card.

Change rear door handle sonata 2009

First, press the door class to go up. Then remove the inner door wall by unscrewing the door handle and other screws you can find. Put a flat screwdriver around the door Wall to lever out the plastic fittings. Pull the door wall down and you now can see the door handle from the inside where you will find two screws that hold the handle. Unscrew the handle from the inside of the door from the two screws and remove the handle from its fitting and then replace the new handle.

Remove citroen c3 rear door panel

Check out how the door panels are attached to the car. Most panels use screws and bolts but others have snap-in fittings. Gather all the tools you need for removing the door panels. If the panel is attached with screws and bolts, you need a screwdriver or ratchet and socket. Car door panels with snap-in fittings are easily removed with a flathead screwdriver.
Locate where the screws and bolts are before starting. These are usually found in the arm rest area, along the bottom or sometimes near the door lights.
Roll down the car door window. Begin removing all screws and bolts that hold the door panel onto the car. If your car has snap-in fittings, pry gently on the bottom corner of the door panel until the fittings pop out.
Remove the power window control panel if your car has power windows. The control panel should pry out easily, and then you unplug the wiring harness from the back and place it to the side.
Use an L pick and flashlight when locating a manual window crank. Look behind the window crank and slide the pick under the edge of the metal clip that holds the crank in place. Remove the clip and pull the crank off.
Remove the door handle by unscrewing the small screw located in the center. Gently pull the door handle out until you see the back of the handle and unclip the rod from the door handle. This should remove the handle unless the handle and door lock are attached, then you just unclip the rod from the lock and remove them both together.
Unscrew the cap off rear upper corner door panel locks. These don't have a rod attaching them to the handle and unscrew separately from the door handle.
Pop the door panel off after you've removed everything. Gently pry on the bottom edge of the door panel until it releases. Pull out and up to completely remove the door panel.

I need to know how to remove the inside panel on the drivers side and how to install the outside door handle that was broken off. Also what tools are need to do this procedure.

Most door panels are just held on with push in studs. You need something to pry them out, like a screw driver. There may be fittings on it might have to come off, usually just screwed on.
The outside door handle fitting wil be seen when the panel is off.

Rear door handle does not work from outside car BMW 318iSE

It will be a small bar that has slipped out of the locking mechanism between the handle and the lock, strip the trim off (dont forget to replace the vapour sheet) use a trim tool for the clips, and check the b ar and also the small fittings that it clips into.
Easy little job that one.
