Default Inner Door Handle Broken Off

When i was opening my door earlier it broke off on the inside, how hard is it to replace and how much will a new one cost?

You have to remove the door panel. 6 or 8 screws and 3 or 4 clips. Most are pretty obvious, 2 under armrest and one behind a trim in the door handle itself. Once off you will see how the door handle is attached and how to swap the actuator cables.

Are they compatible with the SC without mods?

Why do so many of you guys have broken door handles? The handles in the early 90's Toyotas are all very similar if not the same. I've never heard of any other model having this problem.
