Basili, not a DYI but it's easy if you know how to remove the door panel

You have to dismount the door panel, then unplug all plugs for airbag, lighting, window switch and door opening lever and when you take it out, release these 5 bolts. Handle is free then to be seperated from door panel and then you can also seperate the thim from the handle with a little (10mm) slide up (with a little help to split from handle on the upper side).

Remember at first to remove the negative battery pole off the battery, otherwise you'll get an "airbag faulty" message.
