Take the door panels off. Remove the lock rod connected to the handle. Theres a clip holding the rod onto the door latch mechanism. Then remove the two bolts holding the handle in. Good Luck.
Oh yeah, hopefully you have some small hands as theres almost no room to work with.

I was afraid you were going to say the clip word. Is it the style of clip that some carb linkage connects with?

You are gonna need a 1/4 inch drive ratchet, 2 extensions and 2 universals. I forget what size socket you need.
