How to Remove the Window Lift Arm on a 94 S10 Blazer
- 1). Remove the negative cable from the battery using pliers, if you have power windows.
- 2). Remove the trim frame that surrounds the door handle, using a flat-bladed screwdriver. Unscrew and remove the armrest mounting screws using a Philips-head screwdriver. Move the armrest toward the rear of the vehicle and remove it after disconnecting the electrical harness (power window). Remove the window crank (manual window) by using a small, flat-bladed screwdriver, or special tool, to take off the retaining spring.
- 3). Pry the door trim panel partially off the door using a flat-bladed screwdriver; and then undo the two latches with your hand at the top of the panel and take the panel completely off. Remove the watershield completely, using a putty knife.
- 4). Lower the window with your hands until the sash channel is in the door access hole. Remove the screw that holds the lift arm to the sash channel using a nut driver. Use the sash channel to lift the window fully closed and hold it in that position by attaching a strip of duct tape to the outside of the window, pulling over the top of the door, and attaching it to the inside of the window. This is easier with a helper.
- 5). Remove the lower end of the lift arm from the window regulator by using a socket wrench to remove the bolt that holds it. Take the lift arm out of the door.
