Window crank removal
Hello everyone. I'm new to this forum, so this will probably be the first post of many. I'm having trouble removing my window crank on my 77. I ordered the "special" tool, but the "special" tool didn't come with any "special" instructions on how to use it. So, I'm left with a window crank removal tool, and the window crank still on the door panel. If anyone can instruct me on how to use this thing, I'd appreciate the help. Thanks.

on my 77 the door lodk **** is held in with type of "C" clip in a grove in the ****....if this is similar to the window crank i would guess this slips in and pushes out the "C" clip

Any auto parts store will sell the tool you need to remove the clip without scarring the door panel. I did it with a little screwdriver, but wish I had used the tool as it took me a while. Just look in the "Help" section at your auto parts store. It looks like a flat pickle fork an dshould be but a few bucks.
