just use a rag slide it back and forth between the crank and door pannel and the spring should pop out after a little while but that spring can shoot far, so try to point the clip so it shoots down or inside your car so its easier to find. I personally just bent a butter knife and i can push out that spring pretty easily.

if you push in the door and pull on the crank, if you look closely its a basic C clip. find two things that are really thin, and squeeze them in between there, and try to pop the c-clip out. its easy once you do it the first time, just a little annoying.

Use a very small/thin regular screwdriver to drive the clip off. You'll have to work each side and them it will come off of there. Patience is required.

i have a snap on pick set, which has a little hook shaped pick in it and a 90 degree bend pick, between the 2 of them it comes out super easy, just watch it cause my drivers door clip shot out so hard it bounced out of the other open door and on the ground somewhere, ended up having to order another one which sucked cause you have to get the whole handle, stupid gm.
