special tool

Having trouble uploading images, which is a bummer because Fisher came over and edited a little movie I shot with Alina a few years ago. So close to making it live and the automatic Flash update screws up my website.

In other life obstacles, my new truck won’t open from the drivers side inside. Have you ever tried to remove a door panel? Getting the window crank off seems impossible, there’s no screws. I got online and found out there is a “snap ring”. It requires a special tool to release it. Of course


bodyshopzone.com came up with the exact instructions I need.

Just a few more clicks I find this:

“Real easy to get those cranks off. Just get a shop rag or another thin cloth. pull it back and forth between the crank and the panel (like you would dry your back off with a towel), the rag will “grab” the clip and knock it loose, just watch for it when it comes out so you don’t lose it. Putting it back in is easy, put the clip on the window crank first, then snap it back on the shaft, voila!”

As much as I hate the internet when it messes up, man I love that thing.

(I can link to an image already on the web, like that one, but can’t upload files from my own computer.)
