First you have to roll the window up. There are two 10 mm nuts holding the handle from inside the door. You will have to cut the plastic sheeting around one hole to see one of the nuts When you get those two removed you will have to wiggle the door handle around so you can take the two plastic holder clips and flip them up off the two rods that connect to the handle. One is for the door release and the other is for the lock. It is an easy job, you just have to look closely at it.
Good luck. I paid about $6.00 for a handle at a Pull-a-Part jnkyard.

Oh yeah, don't forget to change out the lock assembly, easy as well.
