Its not so bad. I just removed my passenger door handle. It takes patience though.

You have to remove your door panel. Then there are two bolts that hold the outer handle in place. There is an access hole for one, not for the other. For the one without an access hole, use a box end wrench and you can easily reach the bolt via the large inner opening/cavity that is exposed once you remove the door panel.

Then, you've got a hard part. There are two rods connected to the handle. One to the handle itself, one to the lock cylinder. You have to remove both of those as well. You can do this either by pulling the rods out--they are attached via little plastic tabs. However, the tabs may break if you try to remove the rods. They tabs tend to get brittle.

Other option is to unbolt the lock cylinder from the handle, then you don't have to remove that tab--as the lock cylinder will separate from the handle and the tab is in the lock cylinder. There's an access hole for unbolting the lock cylinder. That still leaves the rod with tab that connects directly to the outer handle. With that one I'd just break the tab (what I did). Then you can just pull the handle straight out, pick up a new tab from the dealer for $2, and put the new tab on before reinstall. The tabs tend to get brittle and break over time anyways, so no harm in just breaking them off and using new ones. Thats what I did.

Good luck!

Thank you so much for the information, do you know how long this process took so I can prepare myself and also what those tabs are exactly called so I can grab them from lexus before I start? I'm assuming it's easier just to break off the tabs then to unbolt the cylinder?

P.S. any chance you have pictures of any of this?

I live in Minneapolis MN and I know what your talking about last week I almost ripped my door handle off just trying to open my door, the door was frozen shut. Is this what happened to you? your door froze and you were pulling really hard. Just curious :D

Yep, that's exactly what happened to me haha. I live in Wisconsin, which isn't too far from MN, it's been a tough winter so far. What did you end up doing about your handle?

Hey everyone, I need help figuring out how to replace my driver's door handle. It was -35 degrees this past weekend and it broke off. Any one have any idea where I can start to install the new handle?

My 97 ES300 has over 230k and running pretty good. Just keep up on the usual tune ups eq. oil change, spark plugs, timing belt, etc. Besides that, no real work was but it the car.
