remove door trim undo two 8 or 10mm bolts holing the handle in. pull it out and twist the handle upsidedown the rod that actuates the handle will come off. reinstal. i did it on my calais very easy although time consuming. g/l

You will need a minature socket set with 10cm extension bar that allows angles and a ten mill socket, what do they call those little sets? 1/8?

yeah theyre easy to replace, just do it slooooowly or you will scratch your paint.

Thanks guys *** helped heaps cheers

all the above info is for the FRONT door handles. as for the rears, to make is a crapload easier, undo the 3 phillips head screws that hold in the door latch, this will give you much better access to the rear bolt. use a 10mm socket 1/4" drive with an extension. also if i was you i would masking tape about 50mm all the way around the outer door handle, because when you pull them out and turn them upside down, they come extremely close to the paintwork. better safe than sorry.
