You definitely need the tool. It's only a few bucks and it makes it so easy.

just get a shop rag, and slide it in going while the crank is pointed upwards, come down on it, and pull it into the crank and rotate it either way, that's the easiest way to do it usually works every time for me. The rag will catch the edge of the clip and pull it downwards

I find a pick with a 90 degree hook on the end works great. Just push in the panel so you can see the clip and pull it off.

Just so you know, you put the clip onto the handle and then push the handle onto the crank. When it's on far enough it'll lock.

The official tool is cheap and works well, but a putty knife works OK, too.
