Default 67 Vent window handle removal ???

I know you need to remove the roll pin to get the handle off. And I've read that you can use a small punch. But, I don't see an exit home. Do you just punch it all the way through ???

Yes. Be very careful! My batting average doing this without breaking the window is 50%.

HA. I got mine out without a problem.

Then, walking across the shop to get the new handle to put on, I dropped it!!

End result the same I guess.

Ha. But I wasn't laughing at the time.

if you can use a broken drill bit (shank end)and a pair of channellocks
no need to tap on a drift pin

Thanks for all the advice. I like the broken drill bit idea. Will give it a try tomorrow.
