Default need to replace exterior door handle

Somehow I managed to get a broken exterior door handle on the driver side. I found an inexpensive used one on Ebay and am expecting to receive it any day now. I've managed to get the door panel off to access the interior of the door, but the handle is up in an area that is difficult to see and to access. Does anyone have detailed instructions and/or pictures of the process I need to replace this handle and to connect to lock, etc.? I would greatly appreciate any and all help.

Thanks

Default got it!

Decided to wing it, and work out just fine. Second nut and bolt holding the old handle in is hard to see and access. With only minor fumbling and cursing, I managed to get it. Took longer to put take the interior panel off and back on again, than it did to replace to door handle.
