172 Repair question

[Brad Mallard]

I have a 1962 cessna 172 that I am doing the interior in and I can not
figure out how the door handles come off. I thought thy would have a
standard "U" clip like cars, but these have a small spring that I can see
behind there. Is there someway to push in and turn to unlock these things?

It's gotta be a clip. I took them off a 57 and 66 172 lately. Use the
same flat tool used on cars and push the clip off from the open end.

Make sure you get that signed off by an A&P....
