Re: Window Crank Handle removal




If I remember right, all you need is a hacksaw blade.  You will have  to 
push the door panel into the door, slide the blade between the handle and the  
door panel until it lays on top of the U shaped pin  holding the handle  
on.  It is tricky and may take you some time, but it works.  You need  to use 
the saw part as a pushing tool to lock onto the U pin and push it  off.  It 
would be so much easier if I could explain it in better terms, or  if I 
could send you better instructions, but I can't.  Just keep working it  until 
one comes off, then the others will be easier.  You are correct on  the seat.  
You need to push it from front to back and lift at the same  time, it will 
come out very easily.  Have done both of these projects many  times.  Once 
you got it, you will never forget how easy they are for  removal.  Now, when 
you are ready to put the door panels back on and attach  the door handles, 
you put the U pin all the way onto the handles.  Line  them up with the crank 
mechanism and tap on with a rubber mallet, may take a  good hard tap, but 
it will go on and lock securely

Hi  Guys,

I'm stripping my '62 Dodge Phoenix (same a 4 door Dart) so it is  ready for
paint. However, I am stuck - can someone advise the easiest way  to remove
the window crank handles?? I have a Dart, Lancer & Polara  workshop manual
... but it refers to a special tool. Is there another way  of getting them
off without this tool so that I can remove the door panels,  etc. As you can
imagine special tools would be rare here in the land down  under.

Additionally, I need instructions on removing the back seat  base. I'm
guessing it needs a good thump along the front of the base, and  lifting at
the same time.

I look forward to the responses from those  who have tackled these tasks in
the past.

Cheers,
