If you are talking about the inside handles, they are attached with screws. They are plainly visible and easy to see after you take the arm rests off. Use a deep 3/8" socket with an extension to reach the screws that hold the arm rest on.

He says he already has the panels off so he's talking about the outside handles I think.

My bad. I have never taken mine off but I'm sure they are attached by 2 studs with nuts or two bolts.

The 65 and 66 are attached with screws. I'm sure the 67-68 are the same. I scanned a pic from a catalog but I can't get it posted.

ok there is a screw on the outside of the panel when you open the door that takes odd half of the handle, the other ine is a stud that you take off with a 3/8 wrench i think thats the size. you must roll the window up and reach, have one hand out side on the handle to guide your other one to it. and the key hole is held by a clip on the inside of the door that just slides off its not to diff its finding them is the hard part
