Help!
I am trying to replace a broken outside driver's door handle. I have the replacement handle, but cannot seem to figure out how to pop the door panel off in order to fix it. I have been searching the web non-stop to try to find a schematic or diagram to help, but to no avail. Does anyone know of a schematic for the door panel and door handle?

Thanks!!!

It is quite easy and self explanatory if you examine the door a bit. Can't remember exactly where everything is, but I do know all you need is a small flashlight to see the rods on the handle and how to take them off, a long handle thin slotted screwdriver to push the rods out and move the clips, a window crank clip removal tool, a long and short #2 Phillips, a pick tool, a panel removal tool, and a ratchet with a 10mm socket with extension.

Yes. Most of us here giving advice either paid for our knowledge or have just did it. This is a simple repair, so most of us haven't taken pictures of the job like we would if we did an engine swap or a rear disc brake conversion. Heck, even the repair manual is severely lacking pictures. I know that you are helping a friend and that is noble of you, but there is only so much that we can do.
