Hello,

Yes, you first need to remove the door panel this guide will show you how.

and

Then there will be 10mm nuts that should still be in the bottom of the door you will need them to reinstall the handle.

Below are diagrams to help you see what you are in for.

Check out the diagrams (below).

Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem.

Cheers, Ken
