you need to pop the clip off. I normally use a small long screw driver to get it off but other people use other tools. It might take a while for you to do it first time as it can be a bitch

try using a cloth also, slid it in the gap between the winder and the door car and move the cloth like ur polishing something round,(ok i know its not technically sounded but it works lol) thats what i used to get mine off to put elec windows in

Its a horse shoe shaped clip, with the ends spayed out... it clips into the handle itself and hold it against the winder mechanism. I found lots of twisting with a thin flat screwdriver usually gets it off...

If you get desperate there is a cheap tool you can buy. but otherwise a cloth is the best way methinks..

isn't it a circlip ?

you can buy a circlip tool, usefull for alot of things. (especially bikes)

it's a right bastard to get off, it took me ages to do mine, but i used the "cloth" method.

slide the cloth in between the handle and door card, and pull on each end of the cloth alternativly (hard to explain)

it should catch it and pop it off
