are you taking apart your door or something? i´ve taken off my door panels plenty of times, and all i´ve used is a normal screwdriver and a rag (for the window handle clip). to unlatch the door handle from the thin metal bar just takes some prying effort, and the same to put it back on. i don´t recall seeing in Haynes where it says to use a special tool, now i gotta check and see what they mean... :-?
