I assume you mean the exterior door handle, if so...

per Bentley manual

1. Remove socket-head screw from side of door (what you have already done i guess)

2. Slide door handle forward and pivot hadle out of door.
NB/ On driver's door, insert key and turn key 1/4 turn before pivoting handle out of door (when the key is turned, door handle carrier releases operating lever)

Hope that helps.
