1996 Avalon - Replacing Driver Side Door Handle

[avaloon]

I know you stereo guys are familiar with removing door panels etc.

Does anyone here have any idea as to how I can reach and replace the drivers side door handle for a 1996 Avalon?

The door handle appears to be located behind a metal plate, which, even if I completely got the door panel off, I dont see myself being able to access without some serious disassembling.

Any ideas anyone?

Not familiar with the Avalon, but the best suggestion I can give is to try and find a Haynes Repair Manual for your generation. It does the entire disassembly and reassembly process with explanations and pics. Autozone or checkers usually have them for like around 5-10 bucks. Will be useful if you plan on doing anything else yourself on your car.
