95 Chevy CK Door Handle Replacement

I need to replace both door handles on the driver side of my 95 Silverado. The inside handle broke away from the inner mechanism of the door and just swings freely. The outside handle probably just needs to be tightened down because it is only holding on by the front screw and that one is loose too.

I'm willing to try to do these repairs myself but I need some insctructions. Anyone ever do this? Are there any special tools needed?

The outer handle has 2-10mm hex head bolts holding it in place. One is the one you can see on the outside and the other requires the removal of the inner door panel. Once the panel is off there is an access hole to get at the bolt. While the inner panel is off you will see that the inner door handle will either be bolted or riveted to the door. If it is riveted you will need to drill the rivets to remove and eithe bolt or rivet the new handle in place.
