You remove the three screws (you might just need the two on the side) and then pull straight up and it will pop out easy.

If I recall correctly, it's one obvious screw at the top outermost part of the skin... and 2 more underneath the door handle. If those are all off, you just lift UP... grab the door handle, and lift it up. Done deal. Disconnect all the stuff, and you're free to do whatever it is you're trying to do.

its all about lifting up once the screws are out, it just kinda hangs on there

If it's a front door, take out the two screws at the top "sides" of the door panel, and also the one recessed inside the door pull. When that's out, remove the center of the door pull grip (that last screw was holding it on) and you'll see two more. Take them out and then lift.

If it's a rear door, it's the same except that there's only one screw under the door pull grip. And lock the doors when you remove it so you can clear the lock **** more easily. When you reinstall, have them unlocked so it's easier to guide the lock **** into the hole at the top of the door panel.
