Andy,
No you are not! The handle - mechanism fit is very tight.
When I replaced my handles a few years ago I had to manufacture a "puller" to
pull the mechanism off the handle. This puller works like a hub puller. The
pulling action actually pushed the handle through the mechanism.
Due to the limited space, it was a real PITA to get it to work but finally got
the handle off.
The handle on the right door came right off with no problem!
When I replaced the new handles, I used plenty of anti sieze. I believe the
mechanism part is made of alloy and was corroded.
