Window Crank Removal
 
So I have a 93 4 door xj. Manual locks and windows. I need help on how to remove the window cranks. I've looked it up and every one says just to pull on it or use a screw driver. I've done both and had to other people try and get even get the thing to budge. Any thoughts?

mine were sticky 2 it just took some force... i used all 4 fingers on each hand to disperse the force and just pulled if you wiggle the crank and give it a quarter turn each way they will come off just took time on mine biggest thing is to not apply too much pressure in one spot like with a screwdriver i broke the first one trying this hope it helps

I tried that a couple times, without the twisting though. Stuck with the screw driver or wrenches trying to pry it off but it didn't even budge. I'll try twisting next time. Thanks!
