Help with window mechanism

'50 F-1, I have taken all of the screws out of the door and I cannot get the mechanism out. The handle is off but there appears to be something holding it in place. Suggestions would be apricated. It is broke and useless so damage is not a problem

Window is not even in the vehicle. The regulator is broken where the crank goes into the mechanism. I looks like someone forced it and broke everything. I have a replacement if I can get this one out.

Did you take the door latch mechanism out? The window regulator and latch mech are very close together and can interfere with each other.

The window regulator is tuff to remove and it will only come out in one position and the door latch has got to come out first. I went through this too so be patient.
