Instructions
1. Visit the nearest auto-supply retailer to purchase an interior window-crank tool.Open the car door and sit sideways in the seat, facing the door opening. Slide the wrench-head end of the window-crank tool into the space between the base of the crank and the car-door interior. Be very careful not to scratch the door interior when you do this, and make sure the flat side of the tool is against the door. Push the tool all the way down onto the stem of the handle, until you can feel that it is securely in place.
3. Turn the handle of the tool so that it is pointing straight up and hold the handle steady with your left hand. The next step is to loosen and dislodge the C-shaped metal clip from the inside of the crank handle, but you will not be able to actually see the position of the clip as you do it. This step may therefore take several tries. Slowly turn the handle to one side and then the other while pushing directly downward on the handle of the tool. You should be able to feel and hear when the clip pops out of place.
4. Pull the window-crank tool slowly and directly upward to remove it from the window-crank stem. The crank handle may be loose enough that it slides right off; if not, pull slowly and firmly on the base of the handle, not on the knob. If you can't get much of a grip on the handle's base, use the corner of the window-crank tool to pry the handle up about 1/8 inch. You should then be able to reach all the way around it with your fingertips and pull it the rest of the way off.
