220S Window Handle Removal

I need help please, in the next day or two the bone-yard will be crushing a 50's 220S. Today I was able to save quite a few trim items but what I really want is the window cranks. I worked for almost an hour and can't figure them out. They have a spring under the handle bezel. I can push the bezel back put have no idea what to do after that. I tried to pry etc... I even tried to remove the whole assembly and the screws stripped. Please help as I can go back tomorrow and save these very elegant handles. Thanks in advance.

I seem to remember there is a spring that has a hole with a slot off to one side. Push the panel back and push the spring/ washer sideways and it allows the handle to slide off the spline.

I think this was a fairly common detail in fifties cars in the us too.

Too bad they're crushing that baby!

Good for you, saving some parts.

Not sure about the 50's models but in the 60s 220s the crank is held on with a screw in the center. The plastic cover trim piece slides off - you need to kind of pry it up and slide it along the crank. Then the screw which holds the handle on is exposed. When you know how to do i you can take one off in a minute.

I could easily be wrong. NHDoc is usually right about these things.

But there are two possibilities for you.

Mine have a pin through the handle and post. Take a small punch or dull ice pick and push the pin out.

Thanks for the tip Ed, on the pin I saw a "hole" yesterday. Well I'm off.
