Inside door handle should have some screws that need to be removed and the window crank will have a c-clip behind it . or some you have to pop the cover off the window crank
our question is vague. If you must replace the exterior handle only, Point 7 in Prakash's excellent answer is enough. Tip: to repair a broken exterior handle: fill both sides of the broken handle with metal reinforced epoxy like KwikWeld, then push nails (heads clipped off, 4 or 5 cm long, 1.5 or 2 mm diameter) into the small part (over half the length of the nails will stick out), then put the handle back together and wait. The nails will reinforce the epoxy and you'll have several cm of metal totally filling up the handle where it is broken.

The linkage needs to be re attached. Probably just a clip but it can be bought at a wrecking yard/auto dismantler. try a self serve auto wrecker so you can experiment with an olds door and see. Just remove the door panel and it is an easy fix. The handle could also be broken on the inside where you cannot see it. A lot of the older cars have fatigued pot metal inside door handles
Order the exterior door handle AND the clip that attaches the rod to the exterior handle from your local dealership ( any part in the salvage yard will have at least as much wear as the one U are replacing ) Also order a can of touch up paint matching your car. After you have the parts and have painted the new exterior handle, roll down the window and remove the interior door panel. ( instructions have been posted at 'replace door lock buttom' ) Two nuts, one on each side, hold the broken handle in place and must be removed ( DON'T loose them ). Loosen the rod from the clip at the top to allow a bit more room, But take note on the way it is attached ( you will need to reattach the rod to new handle ) To install new mechanism put the new clip on the rod, carefully place the gasket and the new handle in place and install nuts to secure. Test the door handle and make sure it works. Reinstall interior door panel.
