Removing Door Handle

[chariszzzz]

Does anyone know how to remove the exterior door handle?
I need to remove mine as i have a broken cable harness which connects the door handle to the lock making me unable to open the door from the outside.
I have looked over the drawings/schematics but did not help much.
Any ideas are welcome.

You need a special 2 piece tool kit that you unclip them from through the access plugs in the end of the door. TBH I tried to replicate something when I needed to work on mine but in the end did the job from the inside of the door

This thread might give you some ideas:

Nice idea but actually all that would do is break of the external plastic handle and leave the lock intact.
