Outer Door Skin Removal

[rjm65]

95 Saturn SW2, I need to remove the outer door skin driver's side front door. I have inner door panel off, outside review mirror is off. All screws around edge of outer door panel are off. The door is loose but I can't figure out how to disconnect the outer door handle. Please help. Thanks,
Raymond

this is from a manual, i've never done it myself, but it does sound a little wierd:

pull the handle up, underneth there will be two pins. push the center in with a small punch or simular tool, then pull the whole pin out. the handle should now slide off the pivot.

Thanks, would've never guessed to look there to remove the handle, I was looking towards the inside for a possible pin to release. I had looked at the bottom of the handle before but never would've guessed that the pin on the rear hinge had a center that popped out. The center pin pushed through easily, but it did take a little prying to remove the outer pin. Once that pin was out I was able to slide the handle forward then out. <WHEW!> Thanks again, wouldn't of known where to start without your help!
