start by removing the inner skin of the door. look for screws but it might just snap off, you might have to pull back the weather plastic and try to get to it from there. if you are this far I dont know what to tell you.

each door handle is bolted on with 2 bolts and has a rod attached to it to open the door. For the fronts you have to disconnect the rod from the lock cylinder, and remove the cylinders by removing a C-clip.
