Remove the inside handle
Remove the 10 mm handle screw and slide the handle outward to release it. Disconnect the door cables from the old handle and note their attachment positions.
Install the replacement handle
Connect the door cables to the new handle and slide it into its mounting position. Reinstall the 10 mm retaining screw and confirm the cables move freely.
Reinstall trim and check operation
Align the door panel and press its clips into place. Refit the pull handle and its fasteners, reinstall the washer and window crank, then check the lock and inside handle operation.
