Need to do mine will get some pics if you need them.
But basicaly it's got a 10mm nut on the back of it holding it on.
You need to take the door card off while the doors shut first though. Just get a wide flat screwdriver behind the card where the plastic plugs are and they'll pop out, to protect the paintwork a bit of cardboard between the door and the screwdriver will be fine.

The cables are hooked into the handle and the outers are just clipped into the backplate.
If your new handle comes without a return spring the TORXS SCREW is LEFT HANDED!!!!!!!

(Eighty tighty - lefty loosey does not work with the torx screw!)
