Honda 8-97185-529-0 Handle, Back Door (Outer)

When working on Rodeo and Passport models, remove the tailgate panel screws and straps, lift off the tailgate access panel by removing its screws, and pull back the tailgate plastic guard. First, pull off the tailgate latch by removing two screws at each end with an impact-driver (if needed), pulling out the latch-connected rods, and gently taking out the latch. To take out the window latch, first remove the bolts holding the latch in place, detach the actuating rods, and remove the latch. Unscrew the bolts that hold the handle on the outside, and then undo the cables that make it work from the back of the handle. To get the lock cylinder out, pull off the plastic clip linked to the rod that moves the lock, slide the clip that holds the lock, and then pull the cylinder straight out from the door. You can install everything like you removed it.

Yes, on 1998 and later models, the inside handle/trim bezel assembly must be removed before the trim panel.
