Re: Window Crank Handle removal

[Roger Pettigrew <dodger7998@xxxxxxx>]

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
You know  where to turn if you need help, we are here for you

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,
