Default Replacing Door Handle Bezel

I bought a door handle bezel, the part that goes around our door handle and lock slider. It is held in by two screws (no biggie) but also the lock slider and the handle itself. Can someone give me the 411 on what order you take stuff off to not break anything so I can replace this part? TIA!

you just kinda pop the plastic cover off the actual lock arm, just put a screwdriver under it and gently pry and pull. I had the same concern when I first took my doors apart but you really cant screw it up as long as your gentle

Thanks luna, that worked for the lock slider but I can't get the bezel off. Should I be removing the door panel? I am a complete car-tard so consider that with replies. I can use tools though. :-)

I figured it out. Kind of a PITA, and to make matters worse, the one I got off of ebay was cracked in the same place as the one I was taking off. Got it done though. A search for "Door Panel" turned up a couple of decent walkthroughs.

Yup, glad to hear, I'll be taking mine off again along with the door panel to put in some Alpine's in the front
