Toyota Repair: Replacement of an outside door handle, interior door panel, phillips screw


Question
I have a 1996 Toyota Camry LE 4 door.  The outside front passenger door handle lever broke off and I need to replace it.  I can get a color matched handle through Toyota.  I just tried to remove the interior door panel to see if this is a repair I can do myself, but I can't get the trim around the inside door handle off.  The panel appears to be free at all other points.  Can you tell me how to get the trim to release so I can remove the door panel, and is there some other obstacle that I will find once I get the panel off.

Thanks,

Neal  

Answer
Some of them have a phillips screw under a plastic cover on the inside door handle trim piece, remove it if necessary, take a small screwdriver and pry up between the handle and the top of the trim piece and it will pop loose on top then do the same on the bottom of the handle.
