Nope. All you need is some torx screw drivers and a 10mm socket.
There is a couple of torx screws where the door locks are. You will have to check to see which ones are real and which ones are fake. Unscrew them, then take off the armrest also. Next, there are some plastic clips running all along the bottom of the door. Pry them out using a screw driver or plyers. Just make sure that the clips don't seperate from the cardboard panel. Once you pull the panel off, you will see some rods in there where the door handle connects to them. Pull them off. Then unbolt the door handle from the inside. Putting it back together is just the reverse of taking it apart. It is actually really easy once you see. Took me 10 minutes the first time and I didn't know what I was doing. Good luck.
