snomobeelr Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 Got new glass for the car. Any hints on removing the hardware that is mounted on the old glass. So I can install it on the new glass is greatly appreciated. Thanks , Alan
CKZ03 Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 your gonna need one of these tools, kinda a spanner wrench that fits in the two holes of a washer looking nut. this one is universal & fits many makes & models. Not sure where you can buy something like this, I borrowed this one from my local auto glass guys, helps to know the right guys.
Canuck Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 My local glass shops did not have one of these tools so I made a tool for this job. I got some bolts that fit in the 2 holes of the nut. I found a nice solid piece of metal about 8 inches long I had laying around and drilled holes in it the right distance apart. I then fastened the bolts to that piece of metal and I had my tool. It did not look pretty but it worked. You can also buy the tool from various sources (Year One, etc)
snomobeelr Posted August 10, 2013 Author Posted August 10, 2013 Thanks guys, I just ordered a tool it was $18 free shipping. Now I have to figure out how to get the chrome strip and rubber seal off. http://www.ebay.com/itm/64-81-GM-window-...0de&vxp=mtr
MC-71 Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 To get the quarter glass molding and rubber weatherstrip off use a Plastic or Rubber Hammer and a paint stick. Just tap it Nice and easy.
Toppless72 Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 A pair of needle nose pliers opened up, one tip in each hole and turn. Works for me.
Canuck Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 The needle nose pliers did not work for me. Was too tight.
jvssmail Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 Just a thought but that tool looks very much like a disk brake caliper tool Ive seen in the past. Now that I think of it Im sure that a regular disc caliper tool would work on those washer nuts as well. You can get the tool from autozone as a loaner.
snomobeelr Posted August 21, 2013 Author Posted August 21, 2013 The needle nose didnt work for me either. I ended up getting the tool below.. The nubs for the holes could be a little longer but it worked... Thanks Carl for the info to get off the window chrome and rubber that worked great... http://www.ebay.com/itm/64-81-GM-window-...mtr#ht_71wt_671
