Interior Door Pull Removal

[MLOVE]

Does anyone know how to remove/replace the interior door pull from the door card? i have removed the panel and I cannot figure out how to remove the pull without doing damage?

There are two torx bolts that screw into the metal bracket that is attached to the pull. Access them from the back of the panel.

When you removed the panel, you don't see the metal bar with 2 x torx head screws? They aren't hidden?

I have removed the 2X torx head screws but I cannot remove the handle. Its loose but it wont come out. Im trying to replace my worn wood grain pulls.

Yes, the handle itself has two metal tabs that extend from both ends. These are what the screws go through. The best way I can describe it, is "turn" the handle from the front so that the front slips out from underneath the leather and then you pull the rear from the slot.
