Depends on how it's broken. If the whole assembly is coming off, drill out the rivet holding it on and replace it or just get a short bolt and nut and do it. If it's seperating you'll need a whole new handle and then the above process but with two rivets and a rod attached to the handle to pull up on the latch. I swapped my 1994 to 1996/1997 style door handles and took about an hour.
