REMOVAL

1. Remove the front door window and front door module assembly.

2. Separate the key cylinder rod and exterior handle rod connection (on the handle) if equipped.

3. Remove the screws (TORX T30) and the door lock assembly.

4. Disconnect the door lock actuator electrical connector.

5 Remove the exterior handle bolts, move the exterior handle assembly backward, and then remove it from the panel in front of the exterior handle escutcheon.

Installation is in the reverse order of removal.

CAUTION:

To install each rod, be sure to rotate the rod holder until a click is felt.

I have changed both of the front door handles on my 2004 Nissan Altima. The parts that I ordered on Amazon were perfect, and even color matched! I followed a step-by-step video produced by 1AAuto.com and I had no issues. I will warn you, if you are new to these types of repairs, it can be a little bit tedious!
