Best way is to have the door off and laying on a towel on a table, outside of the door against the towel. Take off the interior door panel, then take off the metal panel. It is sealed on with Butyl rubber sealant. Then if you look inside the door, there are some tapered wedges with teeth on them that hold the handle in from the back side. If I remember, I think there's some sort of spring clip that latches in the teeth that you have to hold up while pulling the wedge out. It's rather tricky. You might need a hook puller tool, which can go in the hole in the wedge.
