How to remove a crankshaft on a Toyota Yaris

Model: Toyota Yaris Xp10 - Years 1999-2005
Part: Body

Let's see how to remove a crank: that thing that was used to lower and raise the windows when electric window lifts did not exist (or when electric window lifts were only available on the front doors). What holds it on the door panel is a small "c" clip, which is usually facing upwards, so we have to push the lever downwards, in order to open up a bit the space located at the top of the crank, and using a plastic spatula, we will pry between the lever and the door body, until we feel the metal clip come out, which we retrieve from below: pull it out and that's it.
