How to remove door panels

I have a 97 F-150 that I need to change the door speakers in. Is there a special tool I have to have to take the manual window crank handles off? Thanks!

Yeah, its a #20 torx bit screw driver. Oh you prolly cant find the screw right? The handle has a cover integrated over it, which you simply pull up on and swing out of the way and there you will find that pesky #20 torx head screw. Common right hand thread, simply unscrew it and pull off the handle.

Mine come off by removing the narrow plastic panel going up the door and removing the phillips screw that's underneith it. Then remove the plastic cover at the door latch (handle) and remove the phillips screw under it and lift up on the door panel.
