Re: Special tool J-5981?????? For window handles?

Hi all,

I need to remove the passenger side door handle on a 1956 in order to repair an off track window. My eyes are not what they used to be, so I'm not sure if I have the type A or B clip. I have some sheet aluminum to make a tool, but I'm not clear on which direction to push the clip.

The handle points down and forward at about a 7:00 o'clock position looking straight on at the door panel. Should I push up in line with the handle toward a 1:00 o'clock direction? Is there a R & L version of the handle? Looking at HH's photo, it looks like you push towards the casting number to release the clip?

Thanks!
