You have to work from the inside the door panel. Take the panel off and then look for two 10mm bolts. There will be one near the front and back parts of the handle. Also, there will be a small plastic retaining clip to the handle that opens the door. Unclip that plastic clip and keep it on the rod. Lastly, pull the handle open, then back, an it should just swing on out of there. Good luck and hope this helps.
