very easy and straight swap ,can be done without takeing door trim off inside but may be easyer if you havent done it before ,just undo the screw what holds the handle which is on the inside of the door just above door latch , pull handle out slowly and look inside to see where door handle fits around metal bar and replace the same way it come out ,sounds hard but very easy to do.

how will you unlock it if your remote fails?

Isn't there usually something that comes with them so if it fails you press the switch and the doors open?
