Inside door handle repair

I have a 1994 Toyota pickup, 90000 miles with a 4 cylinder engine. The only problem I have is the inside door handle/door release is broken. I imagine this is relatively easy to fix with a replacement part but I've never removed a door assembly before and would hate to make things worse than they are. My Chilton's manual provides a ton of info but nothing on removing door panels. Any suggestions where I can find this info (with a couple of photo's or diagrams would be helpful).

I need to replace a broken outside door handle on a Toyota truck. How do you get the door panel off? There is a hard plastic "cup" behind the inside handle that is fastened on tightly. I cannot figure out how to remove that plastic piece and therefore cannot remove the interior door panel.

I also want to replaced my broken outside door handle on my 1992 Toyota Corolla but I can't figure out how to remove the inside door panel. Did you figured out how to remove the inside door panel? How did you remove the inside door window roller handle that was so fastened so tightly? Could you let me know how.
Thanks, Sonny

Can you tell me how to remove this?



Thanks - Dan

There is a "C" clip that holds the handle on. Take a shop towel and run it behind the window crank and pull downward the towel will grab the clip and remove it.
