1929 handle removal help


Recommended Posts

How is the handle on the window crank removed? The nut is 1 1/16 and I see a small hole - almost like a set screw - but with no screw.

The problem is the crank does not open the window. Upon removal of headpiece I see the passenger side gear is not mating with the slide.

Or if anyone has a suggestion about that... that is the heart of the matter.

Thanks in advance.

Not familiar with any window crank with a nut on it; that being said, in many 30's/40's, where the window crank had a spring loaded bezel, you pressed in the bezel, and that uncovered the little hole in the crank handle. It was for a little recessed pin; you simply shoved the pin all the way out with a slightly smaller wire and the handle slipped right off the window gear shaft.

It sometimes took two to reinstall: one to push the bezel in against the spring (which is inside the upholstery backing) while another lined up the hole on the handle with the hole in the shaft and pushed in the little pin. HTH
