Front Door Panel Removal

Anyone know how to remove the front door panel, I took the window console out, the one screw towards the front of the door, and then tried to pull it off using the make shift handle provide on the bottom of the panel. Are there anymore screws and bolts, I need to take out or should I just pull the sh*t out of it?? Thanks.

ok just pull the bottom hold with one quick tug, trust me, the trim surrounding the door handle will pop out but will not break, ive done it about 20 times. from there just go around teh whole door and take off the clips. oh yeah make sure you take out the step light to be safe.
oh yeah to be sure, make sure you take that screw out of the handle part, there is a little black circle cover over it, take a flat head and pop that out and then unscrew that screw,that is all.
