Re: Window Crank Handle removal




I use a table knife with about 1/8" of the tip bent to a 90 degree right angle. That tip is used to push the tab on the spring clip. The sring clip when released does not come off the door handle. . Flat thin knife with no sharp edges to tear upholstery. If you could see that a 62- earlier handle looks like on the inside, you would see how they work...................MO

Sorry for misleading you,,,,, I thought that 62 was the change over year
from the spring clips to the screw,,,, but it must have been 63,,,,,,, the
tools are not expensive, you can do a search of ebay or even try your local
supply  house,,,,, just put in,  door handle tool, and it will bring up
various type of them, and as was explained you can use most any flat tool such
as kitchen items (spatula) screwdrivers, hacksaw blades,,,,,,, after you
get  your first one off, the rest will be easier as you see how they  work

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,
