i suck at life. cant remove window crank from car
i've searched this forum and google, and couldnt get help on it.
anyways, here is what i have so far, i took off parts that i circled red. i just cant get the window crank off.
anyone got any suggestions how to take it off? is there anything else i need to take off so i can get my door panel off?

If you push back the panel you can see there is a little wire metal half-loop that holds on the window crank... pop it off and there u go.

Push in on the door panel and you will see the clip, either use some needlenose pliers or a screw driver to get the clip out and it will come off, then just put the clip on the handle and snap it on when you are done.

Yeah pull on the crank handle and you're gonna see a goldish clip, I used a paper clip with a hooked tip and i yanked it out. Take out the black plastic that surrounds it so you can take it out easier next time. Good luck

Re: (SlicedBread)
Best way to bet that biatch off:
1. Spin the window crank till if faces straight up.
2. Pull the crank away from the door panel.
3. While pulling the crank away from the door panel put a little screw driver on the edge of the clip.
4. While the screw driver is still on the clip. Spin the window crank.
It should pop right off.
Watch out for the flying clip. My poke ya in the eye.

Re: (Scot project)

the ring looks like
,,___
,/ ,,,,,\/ <-----------that
| 0
,\ ___/\ <----------and that , seperate them
dammit the spaces dont work out so i had to put some commas in there
you kinda of have to open it up from the arrows pointing at one another
like seperate them
Peace

rookie.. that is the easiest part.. just put the pin in the handle first and pop it in.. i think u r putting the handle on the pannel first, then try to put that clip in right??

If it's really that hard for you, you can go to pep boys, or whatever parts store is around and get a window crank remover tool. I dont think that they are expensive at all.

I have a coat hanger that I made a hook on the end and it pulls off everytime. Just push in the panel so you can get to it better. I'm sure using one of the 100's of ways listed you can figure it out

Re: (GsR HtCh)
i'm having the exact same problem, but instead, in my EG...i tried pulling on the window crank, and pushing the door panel away from it, and i still dont' see any clip...all i see is a goldish medal bar connected to the window crank, does this mean i'm not pulling it far enough or something??

Pull on the C clip on the rounded part but use a lil hook. Be carefull because those clips end up flying and can be easily lost. Just takes some PATIENCE.
