I need to remove the inside door and windown handles from my 35 Terraplane. I pushed the escutcheons back and see a pin through the handle. Do you drive these pins out to remove the handles?

    You should be able to take a small punch or awl and push the pins out. They were not a driven type of pin.

  • Exactly... the door handle pins are not tapered so generally come out pretty easy.

    HERE IS A PHOTO OF A LARGE PERMA PINE BOX I USE TO SIT MY SPARE MOTORS IN - UPRIGHT AND OFF THE GROUND. ON TOP OF THE BOX IS A SIMPLE HOME MADE TOOL TO MAKE THE REMOVAL OF THE DOOR HANDLES VERY EASY. USE YOUR STOMACH TO PUSH THE TOOL AGAINST THE DOOR HANDLE AND YOUR HANDS ARE THEN FREE TO REMOVE THE PIN.


    REGARDS, BARRY
