Are you referring to the inside handles or the exterior ones?

The interior ones are straight forward once you remove the arm rest.

The exterior ones are more involved but once you remove the door panels, you can see how they're attached from the inside of the door. Removing the door panels requires you to remove the window crank handle, so you might want to order a spare screw cover for each crank since they tend to get ruined when removed. Keep track of your screws and nuts (for the inside door handle)!
