Default Broken door handle.................

I just ordered a door handle kit from laterestoration and made sure they where metal so they wont break again, and then i went to several body shops askin a price for them to install them and they quoted me $45 for each. Whats the easiest way to do the job myself?. It seem that i would need a drill to dill out the old rivits but dk much.


Thanks
