REMOVE THE DOOR PANEL: Start by removing any screws in the door panel. Usually these can be found in the lock release area, the door handle area, and the armrest area. Some screws are hidden by plastic covers.
If you have a manual crank window, pull hard until it pops off. On some older vehicles the cranks are held on with a small allen head screw. If you have a door lock knob you might need to take that off, they usually are threaded and unscrew.
On the 95 Cherokee in particular you’ll need to pull the door handle area out and to the right just a little bit.
Check for aftermarket speakers which may need to be unscrewed and removed before you can get the panel off.
Use the door panel removal tool or a flat blade screwdriver to remove the “Christmas tree” fasteners from the back of the door panel.
Grab the door panel firmly and lift up and away from the vehicle.
Slide the door lock mechanism through the panel.
If the door panel still has anything attached to it like electrical connectors or door rods, remove those. Push the tabs and pull off the electrical connectors and or unclip the plastic clips and slide off the door rods.
