really dumb but necessary ?

there is like a little c-clip thats holding it in.. if you get like a little flathead screwdriver and push in the door panel a little bit around the hole where the crank goes in, you should see a clip in there (might need a flashlight to see it). just pop the clip off and the crank should come right off.

if you pull on the handle a little bit, you will see a piece of metal that looks like a bend paper clip. It is shaped kind of like a 'U' but with the top of the U flared out. Push on the top of the 'U' with something small like a screwdriver. here does a pathetic diagram:
