How do you remove rear door handle on 2002 Mazda Protege?

To remove the rear door handle on a 2002 Mazda Protege, first, ensure the door is open and then remove the interior door panel by unscrewing any visible screws and gently prying it off with a trim tool. Next, locate the handle's mounting screws, usually found inside the door cavity, and remove them. Disconnect any linkage or wiring attached to the handle, then carefully pull the handle out from the exterior side of the door. Reassemble in reverse order after replacing or repairing as needed.
