azscott Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I have taken off door panels before on many different cars and usually, if you have manual crank windows, there is a C clip that holds the crank handle on...pop that off and the handle comes off. But I hav been fighting for an hour and I can't see how to get these window handles off. I can't see anything behind the handle and there is no screw that is hidden on the front. Someone has to have fought with these before...I don't want to break something figuring it out. Must be simple but I am missing it. scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperWade2 Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Probably not the "recommended" way, but I popped mine off with one of these... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeepcoMJ Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 use both hands. put fingers of each hand behind the crank handle, opposite of each other, and pull until it comes off. the window cranks have no clips. just splines. pull evenly from either side, it'll come off every time. try and be sitting down on the rocker with the door open, holding it open using your knee. that keeps ya from falling backwards while you pry it.

Wildman Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Number 2's tool picture has always worked around here :yes: Yes, there is an internal spring clip inside the handle shaft that needs pure armstrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeepcoMJ Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I've never once needed a special tool to remove them, and never seen a spring clip in them either... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 I found it easier on mine if I got my fingers between the handle and the little ring behind it and separated the 2 as much as i could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
