Replacing Inside Rear Drivers Door Handle

[MatthewH12]

Can anybody give me instructions (with pics of possible) and tell me how to replace the inside door handle for the rear driver-side door. The handle is actually broken off, the outside handle works fine.

Is this a hard job? Or once that someone who is not mechanically inclined could figure out?

Thanks!

It's for a 99 but they are all basically the same. I believe the handle itself is held on with one screw. Good luck P.S. I would recommend getting a door panel removal tool for the plastic clips that hold the panel on. Very cheap and any parts store should have one. Or you could use a tack puller like the dude does in that tutorial.
