Replacing interior driver door handle

I've did this before and I know its easy, but for the life of me, I can't remember how to replace the interior door handle. Can anyone tell me how to do it? I know I don't have to take off the door panel. I have the inter cap off and the screw removed but thats it.

2003 Camry, grey, interior driver's side. The lever on the door handle actually snapped clean off. The dealership said this happens a LOT when they tried to sell me a replacement part for $60.

I tried to find the answer on Camrystuff.com, but I couldn't find it in any of the PDFs.

I believe you just take out the whole handle along with the plastic cover with it. That's how Toyota parts sells them.

TTM77,

Thanks! I didn't see anything for the door handle though.

xpeed,

I was wondering if I could just pop out the gray housing. My handle snapped at the very back so the only part of the handle still in the housing is the part that is attached to the cables, so I can't use the handle to pop it all out of the door.

Thanks for the help so far everyone!
