Pry black plastic trim out of the handle recess (there is a small slot on the hinge side of the plastic.) 2.) Remove phillips head screw from inside of bracket. 3.) Slide bracket down onto door pull. You'll expose a large phillips head screw at the top of the door pull. 4.) Remove screw from door pull and two other screws in the bottom of the arm rest. Remove arm rest from door. 5.) Remove chrome door strike trim from trailing edge of door. 6.) Remove two very small phillips head screws in side of window frame trim on trailing edge of door. Remove trim. 7.) With a putty knife or similar tool, pry bottom edge of inner door panel out to release door panel. Work al the way around the door until the pins are released. 8.) With door panel loose, carefully lift up and towards the front to unhook panel from front edge of door and window channel. 9.) After carefully removing the moisture shield (replace if damaged or torn!) you can see the release lever. Remove clip holding the lock rod and the two large phillips head screws. I'm doing this from memory, so if anyone wants to offer corrections, feel free to do so.
