How do you remove a manual window crank on a 1998 Pontiac Sunfire?

Read the Haynes Repair manual and it states to either use a special tool (looks like flat bar, forked at the end) or to put the crank in the down position, lift a clean shop rag up and directly behind the crank, and pull up until the clip snaps out.

I tried this but still can't see where the clip is that is supposed to be behind the crank.

Anyone else have suggestions??
