Replacing exterior door handles

Just wondering if anybody out there knows how hard it is to change the exterior door handles? I am trying to match my front grille. I figure I will have to take the interior door panel apart. Don't know if there is a service manual out there that can help with small mods or not. I hope this is the right forum to ask this sort of question. Thanks.

It should only take a few minutes, you don't need to take apart the doors.

Should only take a few minutes? Isn't the preliminary step to remove the door glass? Might take a little longer.

On the drivers door, its the screw behind the little red reflector sticker in the door jamb. No need to take apart the door panel or remove the glass.

Thanks for the illustrations. I will try today. Keep watching though. I'm sure I might have more questions.

very easy Ive done it with mine and once you figure out the first one the rest are easy. It took about 10 mins to figure out the first one then 10 mins total to do the other 3. Just remove the screw pull the handle, itll pop(thougth we broke the first one), then just pop the new one on and your good to go.
