As shown in the video guide, removing the door handle is an extremely simple and quick task. The only tools required are a flat screwdriver to remove the protective cap and a long Torx screwdriver to unscrew the main retaining screw of the handle.

Access this through the hole on the door's strike plate, then free the fixed part of the handle and continue by disengaging the rest of the handle from the door. This procedure applies to the door of the Opel Astra J but is applicable to other cars.
