Door Panel Removal

[RickyN]

Hi Im trying to remove the driver door panel on a 2000 Ranger. I've got all the screws and clips off but the manual hand window crank wont come off and is holding the panel in place. Is there some trick to removing the window crank?

Pull on it? Um not many tricks. There may be a screw (such as a hex bit) on the side of the crank, check the sides of the crank. If no screws.... just yank on it. Maybe get some leverage with a screwdriver of even a small crow-bar.

there is a clip on the handle you got to pop off the clip
easy way with out the tool is use a shop rag slide it down between the handle and panel and push hard with the rag and the clip will pop off
look first where the clip is its a horseshoe shape like a paper clip
get the curl end facing up when you put the rag in between
and watch where the clip falls on the ground ,use a bucket or can under the door to catch it
