how to take manual window rolling handle off

how do i take the manual window rolling handle off so i can get the door panel off. need help thanks

you can use a knife instead of that "removal tool"

Look between the handle and the door panel, you might have to get creative but there should be a spring clip around the crank. Simply remove the clip with a scribe or needle nose pliers and pull the crank off. That simple. This is strictly from memory. I could have the wrong make and model

Damn, you're fast!

ok thanks so much guys! i just used a small flat head screw driver and had no problem

[lostforawhile]

take a stiff piece of wire like welding wire, bend a small hook in the end, hook it on the clip and pull. been doing that for 20 years. i have one i made with a wooden handle

and hope no one installed the clip backwards like i did a few times (Y)

and similar to lost, i have some small o ring picks that are just the thing for such jobs

Putting that thing back on was a pain in the #(@ how do you guys put it back on easy?

yeah its not easy until u do it a few times, i normaly start puting the clip on the handle, slide handle on fast , push clip in with screwdriver fast

All you have to do is install the clip back on the handle completely. then just pop the handle back on. That's why it's tapered.

Yeah, going on is the easy part!

I use a dental pick to get the hook out to begin with.
