You have to take off the door cover from the inside. there are 3 screws holding it in place. the rest is pretty simple.

Not really just pull the plastic under the panel back, and you will need to unscrew the handle, unhook the lock rod and the rod going to the handle and pop the biatch out.

To remove the handle the window must be down.

To take the panel off, one screw in the door handle area you probably use to pull your door closed after you get in. A screw behind the actual door handle, and one up by the mirror that you can't see b/c its hidden between the door and the dash when the door is shut. After that you just have to work around the door to pry all the plastic clips loose that hold it onto the door. Then unhook the 12v connectors for the mirror controls and power locks/windows, unhook the linkages and then it'll remove.

After that there is a lock and latch linkage that needs to be unhooked off the handle, there is one screw and then there might be a wire on the end of the lock cylinder for the sentry system. Once you have all that removed it just takes some working to get it out.
