Default Question about door removal

I was wondering if anyone knows how to get the window crank off the door so that the door panel can be removed. Thanks for the help guys.

I don't know whether or not it would help to know the year/model of window crank you've got or not, but many times, they have a plastic snap ring inside that you just have to pry the crank off the splined shaft. They make special removal tools like this one -
Window Handle Removal Tool
to pry them off without damaging the door trim panel.

take a straight screw driver and push the door pannel back around the window crank and you should see a u shaped ring that goes around the window crank. You have to either pull it out with needle nose pliers(if you can fit them in there) or with a screw driver. then just pull the handle off, be careful not to loose that clip you have to put it back on the crank or it will keep falling off.
