Follow this:

and when the lock cover is off, you can just pull the handle part towards the back of the car and it will unhook from the front part.

Some of those damn screws are hard to get. It's either the two front ones are two back ones that hold the handle in from inside were a pita to take out. They had a piece of metal in the way.

Back ones on 4 door you have to kinda angle it to get to it. Just make sure you don't loose it. Here's a trick: poke the screw through the corner of a sandwich bag and then wrap the bag around the screwdriver and you won't loose your screw when you poke it through the opening of the door. when it's tight, just pull the bag and it will come right out. DIY Network has some useful tips

That's a great suggestion. I would have never thought of that.
