If you look very carefully at the base of the handle, it has a little wire clip that locks the handle onto the splined shaft by engaging in a groove in the shaft. I actually did this very thing yesterday on a friends car. What you need is a some steel wire, about 1.5mm in diameter (1/16") for the Americans out there, and use a pair of pliers to bend a small hook in the end of it. Bend it through about 100 - 110degrees. What needs to be done is the clip needs to be pulled out with this hook. With the end of the hook pointing outwards from the door try to hook the clip, and pull it out. You may need to try this from several different angles, as the clip may be facing one way or the other. When you have hooked it, give a sharp tug and it should pop right on out. Watch where it goes though, as it could travel quite a distance. Good luck!
The window winder is secured by a spring wire clip. Push the circular pad away from the winder handle and pull out the clip with a crochette hook or similar.
