There is an article on this in the may/june 2010 Restorer, volume 55 issue 1.
Also do a search on door handle removal here on fordbarn.
If the handle is locked you need a lock smith to open it first.
Try some penetrant on the internals.

I just removed and installed new handles on mine. The locking handle installs same as non locking. I had the same issue. One wiggled out easy but the other needed a couple whacks from the backside to push out.
