Chevrolet C10 Door Secrets - Open "C10-A" Me - Tech

The last part installed before mounting the vent handle is the wavy steel tension washer.

The trickiest part of the job is getting the roll pin started (pushed) into the vent handle. A pair of needle-nosed pliers worked well.

The hot setup on and off the truck was to squeeze the pin in farther with Ideal Sure-Grip self-adjusting pliers.

The Craftsman 3/32-inch pin punch was used to drive the roll pin all the way home without scratching the chrome.

The first step to removing the door glass is to remove the door panels. A special door handle tool available from LMC Truck was used to push the retaining clips off the handles.

This rear view shows how the tool must align with the ends of the clip to push it off.

For disassembly without any snags I always pre-soak the screws (or nuts) with Royal Purple Maxfilm.

Then, I carefully drove the screw in and out to work the Maxfilm into the threads until I finally have the screw fully removed.

For stubborn cases, I used an impact vessel with a hammer to carefully back the screws out.
