Post vent window crank

I am looking for a thin open end wrench. I need to remove the vent window crank on a '65 and none of the wrenches I have found are thin enough to get between the crank and the panel. Looking for a source or suggestions.
Thanks

It takes a special wrench to pull the window cranks off. I believe Larry's Tbirds sells this wrench.

Cool

You can buy this wrench at any autozone in the "help" section for about $5

I had a hard time with this one also. I bent the very tip of a long thin nail and snapped it on to a needle nose vice grip and pulled out the pin. The wrench that you can buy is only to separate the panel from the crank. Pull the pin out. Good luck.

I ordered the special door handle wrench from Larry's T-Bird to remove the panel on my '64. I couldn't get it to work, so I went by the local body shop and the owner had the same wrench! He lined the open end with the vent window crank handle and the handle came off in a second. Using the tool I ordered I attached the handle in a second as well. The instructions, of course, don't tell you about lining the open end of the wrench with the crank handle.
