on my s-10 the window crank uses a little c clip to hold it on. most auto stores sell the tool to remove them without damaging the door panel and they are really cheap. the slip behind the handle and you rotate them and it pops the clip loose. i've used a screw driver to do it, but it's a pain in the butt.

i also bought a box of the clips from an autobody store. it was like 100 of them for $5. i use a new one every time i pull the crank.
