There not too bad. You should have to pop the trim off the back that runs up olong the window post on the door. then pop off the little triangle mirror bolt cover on th e front post of the door. this will expose the screws and/clips that hold the panel on. Some f150's will have a screw or 2 along the bottom also. but after you have all the screws out, and the inner handle off, just grip the grab handle and slide the panel up. don't pull out on it or you could break the "fingers" that hold it tight to the door.

Just took mine off 2 weeks ago very easy. remove the pillar trim just be careful to not break off the clips and trim around the door handle. Then remove the two screws and just lift up on the panel.
