Lmackattack Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 I have not done it in a few years but if remember you need to remove the door lock and door handel. remove the screws for the locking latch on the side of the door. roll the window all the way downremove the inner window and door handels.with all this removedlift the panel up about 3 inches and then when the bottom clears pull down and outward.hope I diddent miss anythingtrent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freightrain Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 What about the small circular panel at bottom of door?? This is the lower stop?? It needs removed before the assy can come out...doesn't it??It's been like 4 yrs since I played with them. Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

Lmackattack Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 you might be right Larry, that would alow the window to go down more.I pulled the R model panels out recently and they are very simmilar to a b model but dont have that stop at the bottom.

roadusercharges Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 I replaced both door windows in the superdog recently and the previous owner had nicely cut a hole in the metal skin that allowed your hand to get in to unhitch the door latch control arm, sure makes it easier to see whats in there, plus thwe door upholstery covers it up any way.Nig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyCharger Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Hi George. I've just taken both of mine out to replace the glass for my rejuvenation.The only thing I would add to the above suggestions are;1) I found no need to remove the inner door handle and window winder. They come out with the panel.2) DO NOT remove any of the screws around the window winder or along the centre of the panel (I did and then found that these held the winding mechanism all in place). Just remove the screws AROUND the panel.Regards, Rod.

Andy Wright Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 Hi Andy, Will we see you sand gropers at The Alice in 2 weeks time? Hope so.Regards, Rod.←G'day Rod!!!!How are ya?! Was just thinking about you the other day as I'm trying to get back in touch with all of the Mack guys that I used to chat to. Have left the truck driving on the mines (which was way more fun than working down south in an office) and am working in Perth.I'm afraid I'm not going to the Alice. Since we last spoke, I've got engaged and am getting married in Greece in September!!!! Neither of is Greek, we just thought it'd be a cool thing to do. Jodi even understands old trucks! Not her passion, but she understands them! We've bought a house and are enjoying being home every night instead of 1 week out of 3 (fly in fly out on the mine we were at, where we met).However, there's a heap of guys going from the West. Most that I know aren't taking trucks though, they're doing the caravan thing. I do know of a guy who I met a couple of years ago with a B61 who was hoping to have her finished for the Alice. I think she'll be a black bogie drive, the guy's name is Batty Napoli. Should give him a ring, methinks!How goes your old banger? Not much progress on mine since we last talked, hoping to get back into her after the wedding, replacing an air line at present so not much happening.Bloody great to hear from you. My emails are andreww@downingteal.com and andywright@westnet.com.au. Have a great trip....and give all of the Macks there a pat for me! Love to see that A model that's going.
