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.

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
