Removing the door panel is very simple and requires the removal of only two screws: one is located under the plastic cap labeled SRS AIRBAG and the other at the front of the panel, also protected by a small cap. Once these two screws are removed, pry along the edges of the panel to release the plastic clips and pull it away enough from its position to have enough maneuvering space to remove the lock rod and disconnect the various connectors and the lock release cable.

Then reverse the process for reassembly.
