there is a "c" clip behind the handle that holds it to the regulator arm. you must remove the clip first. this is what the clip looks like:
Door Window Crank Retain Clip 5 PK Dodge Ford GM Toyota | eBay
they make a tool to pop the clip off, but most people use a pick to pry it off.
this is what the tool looks like:
WDCR2 Alloy Steel Car Window Crank Door Handle Clip Removal Tool | eBay
you should be able to buy the tool at any decent auto parts supply house.
