Just having done this door pull removal what you do is remove the door panel, turn it over and CAREFULLY pry up about three or four of the inside edges of the ring holding the handle to the panel. After this, wiggle the ring loose from the door pull and remove it. This will release the door pulls. You can reuse the retention ring by bending the tabs back down and pressing them back on the pulls.By the way on a 9-5 the pulls are one piece. The ones on a 9-3 are 2 piece.
