The door panel comes off without removing the handle.Unscrew the screw in the little cup/handle thingy that you pull on to close the door. Behind the door lever, there's a little flap. Stick a mini screwdriver and pop that. Then unscrew that. Then just yank, it'll come right off. No special tools needed.

There is a clip on the underside of the window crank, if you dont take this clip off you will break your crank (I know from experience).

It's literally called a window-crank removal tool. You need to be careful with that clip, they're farily easy to break (and lose)It's evening..so i'm braindead..heh. But if you want a description on how to remove it (if you didn't figure it out by then), let me know.
