you get to the door handles from the inside of the door. I 'think' you'll have to remove the window, as well as obviously the door panel. not sure though, as I've never actually removed them. just thought about it on some extra doors. lol.

windshield nozzels... take off the hose that goes to them there should be a little clip thing you squeeze with a pair or pliers or something. then it slides out the top.

The door handle isn't too bad. You do need to take the door skin off. There is a hole w/ a plug in it. Kind of oval in shape. If I remember correct, there are 2 nuts that hold the handle. The window has to be up for one, and down for the other. And the linkage.

yep, two 10mm nuts. you may end up unscrewing the studs, but don't worry because it works either way. remove the rods for the lock and the door latch before you go to pull the handle out.

for the washer nozzles: you need to remove the line from the underside and squeeze the tabs holding them in place. they pull out the top.
