Auto body repair & detailing: Window crank - 1995 lumina apv, lumina apv, interior door panel

Question
Good day,

I tried to remove the interior door panel on my 1995 Lumina minivan to replace the window which was vandalized and I just cannot remove the window crank handle.  Can you please help me.  I have looked for a wire clip but cannot see it.  

Answer
You can't see the clip, and you need a clip removal tool. Slide the tool with the handle side under the knob side of the crank handle. Handle to handle I suppose is the best way to put it. Slide it between the thin plastic washer and the handle. slowly move the handle back and forth untill the clip releases. It may literally fly out of the handle, so put your hand over the handle to keep from losing the clip. All gm crank handles are like this, and have been since the early 1960's. Bill
