is there a easy way to get this handles off.....

I bent a paper clip to pull the retaining clip off. Came right off
Push the panel back, you should see the clip
I did have another one with just a piece of the clip stuck in the channel. I had to soak that one in wd40 and then pry it off.

I think the search returned quite a bit of info when I was first trying

You should be able to buy a proper tool at your local auto parts store.

I bought that tool,and the metal it was made of almost damaged my new door panel.
I wound up cutting the same profile into a body filler spreader(plastic),and it worked great.
You can also just spin a rag behind it and the clip will pop off.

thanks guys, like the rag idea.....sounds easier than I thought....

The rag works fine. Hold your other hand around the crank to hopefully catch the flying clip

I got one one, I paid about 4 bucks for it. It works great. You might as well spend a couple of bucks and get the correct tool and do it right.

I've been using that tool for years and never had any damage to a door panel, something ain't right there.

The thing is, the clip stays on the handle and doesn't go flying or get sprung out of shape when using the proper tool.

if the plastic protector is still in place - it shouldn't damage anything.
don't forget to put that back when reinstalling the handle. the proper tool is available everywhere for just a few bucks

I put masking tape around all the edges on the door panel side of my window crank tool, which further reduces the odds of any accidental damage to the door panel.
