Window cranks seldom need replacement, but if you spend a lot of time maintaining your Toyota, you may have to remove them more than you might expect. You'll have to remove a window crank before you do any of the other steps in removing a Toyota's door panel. Basically, the crank is ultimately in the way of many other repairs.
Insert the tip of the crank remover under the Toyota's crank.
Push the crank remover inwards and dislodge the c-clip holding the crank to the Toyota's door panel.
Set aside the window crank for later use. Remove the c-clip from the door and set it along side the crank.
Pull the shop rag tight in two hands.
Pull the rag under the Toyota's crank and inwards.
Move the rag back and forth in a sawing motion. The rag will catch the c-clip and dislodge it.
Collect the c-clip and crank and set them aside for later reuse.
