Toyota Repair: 1997 Camry drivers door handles replacement, side doors, control rods


Question
I need to replace both interior and exterior door handles on my 97 Camry front driver's side doors.  Do you have step by step instructions that can guide me through the process?  I already took the screw out of the center of the interior handle and removed the molding from around the interior handle but there is another screw on the far left that I cannot reach with my screwdriver.  Do I need to remove the door panel to replace the interior handle too? Thank you.

Answer
Yes the door panel has to be removed, remove any plastic covers in the armrest, if it has a small red clearance light remove it and remove the screw under it, remove the screws under the plastic covers, once the screws are out the cdoor panel can be pulled off, roll the windows all the way down, remove the round piece of black tape, there is a hole under it that lets you access one of the outer door handle bolts, the other one is easier to get to, there are two 10mm bolts holding the outer handle on, disconnect the clips holding the door lock control rods on and the door handle can be removed.
