Replacing a Mazda 6 Plastic Thing That Goes Around the Door Handle
At one point I replaced a passenger side mirror, which broke due to some water/ice build up. To do so, one has to remove the door.
"Sure!" I thought. "I'll figure out how to do that." I assumed the door slipped over the plastic thing that goes around the door handle. I was wrong, but I had to break it to figure this out.

Unscrew the Assebly
Oh! There's a screw! Um. Now I know.
There's a small panel just above the handle. You'll need a small screw driver to pry it open. After doing so, there's a phillips head screw to unscrew, and the whole thing comes off.
Learn from my pain.

Unscrew the Door Lock
There are two small screws that hold the door lock and wires onto the assembly. Remove them.
Replace and Repair
Screw the lock mechanism into the new assembly. Put it back in the door, and reattached the main screw. Close up the panel, and you're done!
