I think you push the pin out and then they should come off.

good luck. they are very hard to get out. it is better to get a new window if the handle is bad. i got mine for 14.00 from the junkyard.

The handle is held in by a clevis (roll) pin.
Try using a small finishing nail with a tack hammer to remove it.

I might be easier to get a vent window that has a good handle. I just
bought a nice vent window out of the junkyard for 17.00. Once in a while
you can get lucky and remove the roll pin with a small drive punch.
Good luck

Glenn

I took your advice and they came out pretty easy. Thanks

Where do you get new handles at? I do not have good luck with salvage yards. I have stories to back that up. Thanks Matt
