I removed the wing vent motor and the entire side window bracket. It's a 1967 Crown HT.
The shaft that connects the pivot to the motor needs to be removed in order to remove the glass from the triangle frame, which needs to be removed in order to replace the rubber and rechrome the frame.
I could not figure out how to remove this.
I pounded the crap out of it with a hammer and finally got it off. It's from the donor car, so I don't care if it is damaged.

The shaft is connected with two semi-circle bearings with a very small peg between them (the peg apparently connects to two sides of the bearings, through the hole in the window shaft.

Does anybody know how to remove this without brute force? I figure I can either solder or super-glue the peg to one side of the bearing to replace the unit. Thanks

So I figured out how to properly remove pivot bracket from the window shaft. Pretty simple. Place a flat head screwdriver against the edge of the bracket. Lightly tap with a hammer - it will come off. Tap with a hammer to get it back on.
