Another way to remove a stubborn door handle retainer is to remove the inner window surround, and then roll the window down all the way. This will give you a complete view of the retainer clip. Then you can "Manipulate" the retainer to get it loose. Enough soaking with PB from this angle, and some "gentle" persuasion, and you might be able to get the retainer clip to release without breaking.

The problem with the original ones is they are made of steel and they just rusted badly. The new ones are expensive, but will not rust.

Keep in mind every door uses a specific different clip. So dont mix them up.
