Question Door panels

I was wondering if anybody knew the name of the tool used to take the window and door handles off the door panel, so I can take off my door panel. Thanks Brian Wolf

Don't know the name of it, but I went to the NAPA store and told them what I wanted and they handed me the tool. It's a little flimsier than what you get from Snap-on or Matco, but it works.

I took a welding rod and bent the end then filed it down to make it smaller.It works pretty well and didn't make me take time to go to the parts house.I haven't remembered to get one when I went to the local NAPA.

The best thing I have ever used for that is what the dentist uses to scrape plaque off your teeth,my cousin is a dental hygenist and if you talk nice to your dentist he will probobly give you a couple old ones as they don't use them for to long.The skinnier picks work the best,lots of other uses too.

Cool

Hey Brian, Formally known as "Wolfden"

How are things in "Cow Town"? We've got to get together some time this spring.

Didn't you have a 4X4 GMC Before?
