If I remember correctly the original ones are riveted in, so yes, you have to take the inside of the door panel off. You'll need a drill, and various screwdrivers and chisels, and also a hammer would be helpful.

well, that was probably the easiest job i've ever done on my car, short of changing the oil
 just took off the speaker grill, armrest, and door handle bezel, then removed the door trim and my door handles were bolted, so i unbolted them, unhooked it from the rod and put the new ones on ahhhhh, i love it when working on the car goes right w/o any hitches  ------------------ SHaFTed |

tap it w/ a piece of metal, if it dings, then its metal, if it thunks, its plastic
also, you can bend them just a little w/ hand pressure if its plastic, just pull up reallll hard and you'll feel it bend a bit ------------------ SHaFTed |
