Make sure you have the handles at the right inclination when you do this because once they are on they are a bugger to get off again. (as you probably know).

If you don't have the special tool for removing these clips (yes, there is a tool - it's a flat piece of metal with an approximately 'U' shaped cut-out to push the ends of the clip to dislodge it), the easiest way is to take a cloth and insert the edge between the handle and the plastic bezel (you might have to use a small screwdriver/knife to make room) and with a see-sawing action work your way around the gap, at some point, the cloth will catch on one end of the 'C' clip and dislodge it.
Some use a small electrical screwdriver to remove these clips - insert between the handle and plastic bezel, twist screwdriver 90 degrees and rotate the handle or work your way around in the gap, at some point, your screwdriver will catch on one end of the 'C' clip and dislodge it.
Others use a hooked pick (or a piece of wire with a very short 90 degree bend on one end) which they insert between the handle and the plastic bezel and hook the bottom of the 'U' of the clip and dislodge it. If you examine these handles, you'll notice that the clip can only be fitted in one of 2 orientations - the bottom of the 'U' will either be under the length of the handle or at 180 degrees to the handle i.e. pointing away from the handle, so you only have to try to catch the bottom of the 'U' on the clip in one of these 2 places.
To refit, just do as 'tjmra' suggests above.
