    I'm sure someone here has done this. Trying to save the door panels as templates for new ones. I cant seem to know how to remove the cranks. I'm used to the C-clip type but these arent like that.
    Thanks in advance,
    Al

    Use a thin rag and slide it through the crank which ever way the pin is facing, should come off, keep an eye on it if it springs off.

    No "C"clip here

    Thanks guys but these window cranks don't have a "C" clip to hold it on. I have no idea of how they are held on. Maybe the cranks are threaded? If so, are they reverse threaded? :shrug:

    I wouldn't be surprise if someone glued it on, I guess you'll have to work your way in into getting some clearance to see what is holding it in, I don't think any toyota trucks had thread on crank handles

    If its thread on its with a center bolt like domestics. I bet its glued on too.

    I just broke my passenger side hand-crank trying to get it off. :(

    I was looking for the C-clip as well but I couldn't see and started prying on things until the thing finally broke off and I noticed the C-clip on the floor with the rest of the pieces...

    Be careful!
