I would like to take the door cards off to lube up the window crank and door handle mechanisms. I understand that there may be a clip at the 9 o'clock position on the window crank and door handle to remove them.
I've looked a bit by pushing the door card in but I don't seem to see what I'm looking for. I'm not sure if there's a tool that I need to aid in all of this.
Any help on removing the handles would be appreciated.

i use a wide flat head screwdriver.
heat it up and bend it for easier access.
dont have to buy the expensive tool.
Bob has a video where you can see which side you need to put the screw driver in. If the handle is 6 oclock, you put the screw driver at 9 oclock. You can use another at 3 oclock to balance it(apply pressure from other side to "flatten" lift) and it comes right off.

Good stuff, thanks for the replies everyone. I did manage to get the handles off, lube everything up and get it back together. I'll be getting the tool, it would have made everything go much quicker.
