1 Answer

Pretty easy, but you have to remove the door panels to get access. Once you get the panels off roll the window up and you can reach inside and pull retaining clip that keeps the lock in the door. There is a small rod connected to it and to the handle that has to be removed by taking the retaining clip off one end to remove it from the door. Then just reverse what you did to put it back in.
