42 chevy Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Hello all; I am in the process of stripping down my closed cab and I am reading the TM on how to remove teh door ahndles and window cranks. It states "remove screw under estucheon" I cannot find this screw to save my life. ANy help in this matter would be apreciated. Thanks John Gott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 (edited) Could it be a little grub secrew in the thick past of the casting? Or is that to obvious. OR have you got a flared saucer type thing at the base of the handles? That would fit the description Escutcheon. Estucheon- An ornemental or protective plate around a lock , handle etc. If there is a push in panel the handle may have a thicker base going into the door that could house the screw, I've seen this on some old cars.

gritineye Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Just a guess but on some old cars the escutcheon can be pushed along the shaft towards the door, pushing in the lining slightly, and exposing a grub screw in the part of the door handle thus exposed, often underneath just to make it occurd! I may be wrong of course but it will be something of that sort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.O.S. Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Hey John, just consider yourself very lucky to have some handles and cranks to remove! I spent 5 years looking for a GMC window crank!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
