Assuming it's a front door handle:
Front exterior door handle
- Remove the door inner trim panel
- With the window fully raised undo the retaining bolt(s) from the base of the window guide, and manoeurve the guide out of the door.
- Release the retaining clips by pivoting them away from the rods, and free the link rods from the lock assembly.
- Unscrew the two handle retaining nuts, and detatch the lock cylinder mounting plate from the rear of the handle
- Lift the retaining clips on the base of the handle, and remove the handle from the outside of the door.
Front lock cylinder
- Remove the exterior door handle as described above, then manoeuvre the lock cylinder mounting plate out of the door.
Where necessary, trace the wiring back from the central locking/alarm microswitch, and disconnect it at the wiring connector to enable the plate to be removed.
- With the mounting plate removed, insert the key into the lock cylinder, then prise off the C clip from the rear of the mounting plate. Lift off the link rod bracket and spring, noting their correct fitted locations, and withdraw the lock cylinder.
Front door lock
- Remove the door inner trim panel and peel back the weathershield
- Remove the window guide as described in the first section.
- Undo the three retaining screws, and manoeuvre the lock assembly out of the door.
On models with central locking, disconnect the wiring connector from the servo unit as it becomes accessible.
Hope that helps?

If you read the Haynes manual it says you have to remove the window runner!
