You have to remove the whole handle.

I did it years ago to my 1st car.

There’s a C clip holding the rod on the back of the lock cylinder, and another spring clip that holds the lock into the handle.  
Theres 2 nuts (I think) that hold the handle in the door. You don’t need to take the handle right out, but if you get it loose it’s a lot easier.
