There arent any DIY thread for the handle. Your problem may just be a simple fix without replacing the whole handle. Pull the interior door panel off and check the handle mechanism bars. They may have come loose. If your replacing the door handles themselves, You have to drill them out and rivet the new ones on. Try the mechanism itself first though.
