Re: [A/S] Window cranks
Hi Pearl:
If the problem is that the handle part came off the crank part, this is
what I did:
If your cranks are like mine, you should be able to assemble the two
parts back together and then, while supporting the handle end on the
garage floor or some other immovable structure, place a punch (in this
case a bolt of the proper diameter would work) in the hole in the crank
and peen the handle metal until it doesn't come off. The handle is
"riveted" to the crank and after a million or so revolutions, wears out
enough to slip off.
Worked like a charm for me. Good for another million revs.
