Window And Door Crank Removal???

[55 Fargo]

Hi, I know this is probably a no-brainer, but what and how do I remove the window and door cranks from my parts car, as I don't have the special Miller tool. I almost feel silly asking this question. I want to remove the cranks withou breaking the escutcheons or the cranks.......Thanx guys Fred

Thanx Tim, oh by the way I enjoyed your Elephant story, was it a case of mistaken identity perhaps............Fred

Just can't seem to get these off my car, I have pushed the door panels inwards to collapse the spring around the escutcheon, I have tried driving a finishing nail to rmove the tiny pin to no avail, any other secrets to removing the cranks. I am trying not to break the surrounding escutcheon.....Fred

Fred, try pushing the pins out from the other direction. They usually slip right out.

Don't forget that there is usually a spring behind the panel to keep it tight on the escutcheon, so you may have to push the handle in a little to release the pin. Mine were straight pins, so they should come out either side with no problem.

I finally was able to get the window and door cranks off one door, the escutcheon ring did suffer some damage, but you won't see it once there back on the doors with new panels.........Thanx Fred
