all you have to do is pull off the door panel and the plastic lining off and the little white piece off the rod and unscrew the two 10 or 12 mm nuts i dont remember which it is and the handle comes right off

if you dont want to buy a new handle. here is a tip. if the metal just broke on the one side of the handle, the other side is good. just take the driver and passenger handles and swap them. I did that on my car and worked great. thanks mazda.
