Geoff, the crank is held to the spindle by an omega shaped clip that
fits in the spindle's groove. You can take the other door's off to
see the part...use a sock or rag, and loop it through the "crotch"
of the crank. Pull or rock the rag... the clip will pop off. Don't
let the clip "escape". To put it back on, just put the clip on the crank,
and push onto the spindle. Note the position of the crank with the
window up, so you replace the crank in the correct, same position.
Seem like you need a clip...
