need help with rh rear door handle

i broke my rh rear door handle (outside), now i need to instal a new one. My question is simple... Do i have to take a back door panel out, or i can take the handle out from outside? Thank you

You have to take the panel out. Otherwise, the door handle would obviously fall out every time somebody pull on it. Right? It's really easy. i did it in a matter of half an hour. Just unscrew the inside panel and unplug the window switch motor. Put the panel on something clean. Then you'll the clips that you have to remove to pull out the door handle.

BTW, my friends are idiots and snapped off my door handle because after they get the door open, they let the handle slap back onto the door. After 234892734 times, the door handle broke on one side.

My LH rear door handle is broken and after I remove the screws as instructed above something still has it stuck tight. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't want to tear my interior door panel into pieces trying to replace a door handle.
