ggdad1951 Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 how does one take this off to get it cleaned up and refurbed? Get that tiny pin out by drilling? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgeb4ya Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 Knock the pin out with the small proper sized pin punch. Then it all comes apart very easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to look again, but unless mine are REALY corroded, it looks like there is only one hole for the pin, no hole to drive it out from and that pin is TINY!

Dodgeb4ya Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 Some pictures of the vent handle pin, the pin will drive through. I double checked 2 trucks and some vent frames that these pics were taken off of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodgeb4ya Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 (edited) I got to thinking to look at some car handles-I think maybe they only have one hole. Cannot remenber. Extremely sharp side cutters would pull/wedge the one way pin out. I'll look at some more cars today to check on this issue. I did look at 4 more 1946-52 cars and all have easy 2 way pin removal.

Young Ed Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 My 48 plymouth has through holes. Not sure about the newer cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
