The clips hook to outside of the opening @12, 3, 6, & 9 o'clock, so they have to be moved to the inside to release them. I've used pieces of hack-saw blade with the teeth ground off stuck between each clip as I work on the next one. A 1/2' or so wide piece of hard thin plastic will work too, as will some hard, thin cardboard.

yep. i use small flat screw drivers. simply pry one alittle and with your other hand hold the bezel out from the door panel alittle and move onto the next point and keeping light pressure on it. after the 2nd or 3rd it should come right off. simply use a flashlight between the bezel and handle and you can see 3 of those tabs that go further back. you can see them easily with a flash light!
