I've been able to remove them with a bent screwdriver and a
straight screwdriver. Here's what the '55 DeSoto FSM says [Page
580]:
[First they show an illustration of a regular screwdriver
with a round shank bent 30* at 1 1/4" from the tip. Fig 25]
With handle in down position, insert reworked screwdriver
between handle and washer. Release tab of clip will always be to left of
center line. Insert a regular screwdriver between washer and handle on
the right side. This will keep handle from cocking and binding on
shaft.
With the reworked screwdriver engaging release tab of clip,
pry outward on both screwdrivers to release clip from locking groove on
shaft and remove handle.
[That is, move the tips of the screwdrivers outwards by
moving the handles inwards.]
It's easy once you get the hang of it.

Yorker Interior Door Handle/Window Crank Removal
Hello
everyone!
I am having the upholstery and
door panels redone in my ?56 New Yorker and the new seats look
stunning. Now for the door panels: I am here in Australia, and most
people here have never seen a car like that let alone have the handy little
tool for removing the interior door handles and window cranks to get the
door panels off. Does anyone have a trick for removing these without
damaging the vinyl or trim portions of the door panels? Do I need a
special tool to remove them and if so, where would I be able to find
one?
Thanks!!
Regards,
Eric
