I forgot to mention, I have a 1992, your door may be different:
Ok, finally got it all back together. Here is a pic of the part from NAPA:
It's part # 735-5971
You have to take 3 screws off the door panel to get it off. The first two are above the door handle and the third is in the upper door panel.
Then you pry up on the power window controls at the bottom.
You will have to remove two screws from the back of this and you will also have to remove the power mirrors.
The directions I have seen say to remove the black panel behind the inside door pull, but I didn't have to do this. You just have to maneuver the panel around the pull. You will now need to pull the panel off, be careful not to break any of the fasteners. If any stay in the door, you will have to put them back on the panel, or the panel won't fit back on right. Pull the fasteners out, then pull up and clear the door lock, then I went forward to clear the inside door handle.
Remove the light bulb and this box:
At this time, remove the following bolt, or you won't be able to see the broken part:
This bolt holds a guide for the window, just remove the bolt (7/16") and the track will slide down. Let it rest at the bottom of the door.
Now you will see the door handle rod comes down to connect to the hinge. This is where mine was broken, the rod wasn't connected to anything and the plastic piece was broken.
To remove the broken plastic piece, I had to take the three screws off the hinge from the side of the door:
From there you can rotate the hinge around to get at the back of the plastic piece that you need to remove. I used needle-nose pliers as the back has two tabs that have to be pressed in to remove.
Here is the broken piece so you can see how to remove:
I installed my new pieces as far to the bottom of the handle rod as I could. This took the slack out of the outside handle. Test it before you put the hinges back on as once it is installed, you have to take the hinge back off to get at the back of the plastic piece to remove. I broke one piece like this.
Once you have it tested, put the hinge back in, the window guide back in, tape down the weather stuff and continue in reverse of the above.
Once I found out how to do this, I was able to get both front doors changed in about 30 minutes and that's with taking pictures. The part was $3.99 each.
Hopefully, this little tutorial makes it easier for someone in the future. One of my rear handles is loose and will probably have to be replaced soon too.
