How to take door handle off mini cooper.

My first time attempting this and there was little i could find specific to this job. 1a auto shows you how to repair install fix change or replace a door panel. Door panels need to be removed to access the inside components of the door li. Assuming you have an internal hinged door after removing the two screws i think you have to slide it horizontally towards the rear edge of the door and then pull it away from the door if my memory serves me correctly it should still be attached by the rod to the lock assembly which you then just pop the clip loose on one end but yours may already be dis connected.

My door handle showed no resistance but the spring action still worked. Pry off the silver panel with the screwdriver. Wedge the flathead screwdriver between the silver panel on the interior door panel and the arm rest.
