Door handle broke

Interior door handle broke on drivers side. I have ordered the metal handles from Ebay. Are aftermarket cables OK or should I get OEM? I guess I will attempt to do this myself even though I will be slow. I also want to put new speakers in so I can do 2 things while I'm there. Should I get the panel removal tool(s)? Thanks.

I can't speak for the aftermarket cables, but you don't need a panel removal tool. Just take the screws out of the panel and then lift it straight up.

I believe there a 2 screws along the bottom and one in the door handle (the one you pull to shut the door, not the handle that opens it).
And if you have manual windows, pop the cap off of the window crank and you'll see the screw to take the crank handle off.

Thanks. I have electric windows. Also, I need to replace the window regulator too. The window rolls down but will not come back up without assist.
