The correct tool for these handles is made from a thick gauge sheet metal and has a square cut into the end and you can remove the handles with it by pushing the tool behind the handle from the opposite side of the clip. When the tool engages both sides of the clip, firm pressure on the clip pushes its tang out of the grove on the shaft and you can wiggle the handle off. Its tricky but can be done. Its tough to visualize. Pix should be posted. you must push the tool hard enough to overcome the spring steel pressure
