How difficult is it to remove a door handle?

I'm trying to find out how difficult it is to remove a door handle from this car. I've removed the door panel before and that is easy, but I'm just trying to figure out how much more time I'll need or if there are any special tools required. While I was buffing my car I noticed the right rear door handle was missing the black weather seals, so I've bought some so now they need to go on.

There should be one screw on the inside of the door panel holding it on.

Oops, I guess I should have specified it's the outside door handle.

OH

I think if you take off the door handle covers, there should be 2 screws holding it on.

Alright, thanks for the help guys. I'm probably going to do it today or tomorrow, so I'll try and remember to take pictures so this will help someone else in the future.
