Just a C shaped clip that will push out with the proper tool. Come at it from the open side of the C.

Think your seeing the coil spring that hold the door pad out to handle. pry the door panel as close to handle as possible,may even have a plastic shield you have to get behind, then look at the shank of handle that goes onto spindle, you should see a "slot' in shank with the "c" clip, turn handle till you can get at "open" end of clip with the tool & "pop" off the clip!!!
