vent window crank

[Wayne]

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

Well, I think that if you take appart the ineterior pannel you should be able to get to it, and if not, go to your local sears and explain the situation and theyll hjave any size master craft wrech you could imagine

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

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.
