To replace the external door handle on the front door of a Toyota Corolla, open the door and locate the plastic cover on the side edge of the door, near the handle. Remove the cover and unscrew the internal screw that secures the cylinder or the back of the handle.

Once loosened, pull the back of the handle outwards. Next, slide the main handle to detach it from the housing and remove it completely.

Disconnect the lock rod from the inside. Insert the new handle by first connecting the rod, then positioning it in the housing and reinserting the back part.

Re-screw the screw on the edge of the door and check the handle's proper operation before closing.
