window crank

[imdawrlus]

i'm going to be putting some new pioneer 4 way speakers in the doors of my 94 s10.....was wondering how the wondow crank is supposed to come off....also, the four ways will fit, right? haha thanks

there is a c-clip behind the crank...just push on the panel a little and you can see it...use a flat head or if you have it, a clip remover and pop it off, then the crank will fall right off...they should fit...make sure they are 6"

I usually use a jumbo paperclip with a small hook on the end to remove those window cranks. Make sure you know where the clip is and don't let it shoot off somewhere, like the front yard.

if it goes in you yard don't fret. you can always find them when you cut the grass.

that is hoping it doesnt launch across the street and into the neighbors yard when you run it over! :)

i removed the wire clip on there...and nothing happened....i tried shiming it to see if i could get it to pop off....nothihng...i put wd 40 on it..nothing....am i doing something wrong here??? i really need to get this thing off in order for me to do the two door speakers......thanks...

it is just a c clip that holds the window crank on. you pop that off, and then the crank pulls right off. the wire clip your talking about. it does look like a "C" right? besides that, there are 3 screws in your door you need to remove to get the door panel off. the one behind the lever to open the door and 2 in the armrest...then start at the bottom and carefully begin to pop the clips that hold the panel on...when is it all loose, lift up and it will come off

heres a picture of the clip that i got out........this is the only thing that i see wraped around the window crank shaft.........is this the right one?? http://www.sicgmtrucks.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=500&stc=1

[XxInFaxX]

that is it...it should just pull off...unless they superglued it on? id give it a lil force, but not too much...thats all that holds it on!

[imdawrlus]

OH I GAVE IT FORCE ALLRIGHT!!! i took a pair of vice grips and wiggled it and PULLED!! and still nothing.....i have no idea whats going on BUT IT AINT COMEING OUT FOR NOTHING!!! should i tourch the truck.....i mean the shaft......to see if it will loosten it up a little bit?? if this dosent work then i might have to just mickey mouse it and see if i can reach under the panel......what do you guys thing???? why would it do this??? if someone did glue it on what would the reason for it be?? the clip is still there.....THANKS!!

[XxInFaxX]

uhm, i wouldnt torch it...the crank is plastic...im kinda out of ideas...anyone else? and dont mickey mouse it like that...you WILL crack your panels.

[imdawrlus]

what do you guys think?? if i cant figure it out i'll probablly take the truck to a place that does sterios and see if they'll pop it off for me.....i'm sure they've seen everything....i thought i read somewhere that a special tool was required?? or is that just to make getting the clip off easier?? anyways thanks for the help and thanks for putting up with me.....haha.....

just pull it off if it breaks go to a junk yard and get a new one. or go get a new one then pull it off. If your sure all the clips are off it most likely got glued on so getting the glue off could be hard but then again if it was easy things wouldn't be intresting.

[XxInFaxX]

the tool gets the clip off easier.

[blazen]

he has the clip off allready the handle is just stuck on there

[imdawrlus]

thanks for the help guys...i need a new crank anyways...the little black plastic knob wont stay on when you try to roll the wondow down so i need to fix that anyways......i'll probablly try to get the other side and see how that goes and then see if i can cut the other one or something.......i'll post back letting u know how it turns out....thanks........

[imdawrlus]

UPDATE....i got the window cranks off....just like you guys said they were glued on.....what i did was take a torch and heat up the crank, then i took some vice grips and wiggled the crank and the thing just slid right off.....i scratched up the cranks a little bit but that dont matter because i need new cranks anyways.....i got the speekers in and its the balls.....anyone wanna sell me a couple cranks?? also if anyone has a drivers side mirror for a 94 i'm looking to buy one.......THANKS!!!

Just use a shop rag. slide it between the cranbk and the door panel. it will catch on the clip and it will pop off.
