Door handles

Had a workshop clear out/tidy up, and found a pair of new chrome, external door handles for front doors of P6. Remember buying the years ago, and never fitted.
Is there an easy way to fit these, other than removing all internal bits of both doors?
took the door trim off to look and it seemed that the only way was to remove the glass, which looks difficult.
 
I don't remember having to remove the glass frames, ISTR just disconnecting the link from the interior handle to the lock mechanism at the lock end, and that gives you access through the hole to get on the exterior handle securing nuts/bolts with a small spanner.
 
Done it to upgrade the handle to door rubber gaskets.- worth the effort.
Ive got big hands so lost a bit of bark undoing the small bolts .
Straight forward without having to remove the glass.
Helps if you can do yoga as I remember having difficulty to bend my arm into an awkward possi.
If I recall, I used one of those small hobby sockets sets you can buy from your fav auto outlet.
One of those magnetic Flexi wands is helpful when you drop nuts and bolts into dark door wells.
