just did mine with an ex-mechanic friend, u need to take out the old motor along with the whole bracket that ataches to the glass and lets the window go up and down without crashing to the bottom of the door. when u do that, and its a bitch, u attach the new motor to the bracket, grease up all the moving parts u can with white grease, and finagle the whole damn thing back into that little damn hole!!!!! Also if u do all of this make sure that u put a block of wood in the door to support the glass, i also used 3 pieces of duck tape and taped the window to the actual door, that in itsef was enough, the wood was just a safety measure. its also nice to have more than one person, cause it is hard and frustrating to get the whole bracket and motor out in one piece without having to worry about the glass crashing on your hands.... hope this helps.

make sure you zip tie the regualtor together, if you take the motor off and it moves fast, the clock spring will blow off, then you will have a real mess. I also recommend have 2 people when riviting the regulator back on, LOL I seriously pulled a groin muscle trying to squeeze the big rviet gun between my legs. Good Luck it is a PITA

DEFINITELY no need to remove the entire window regulator to replace the motor. Use the shoebox method referred to above. Motor should have come with a set of screws/nuts to bolt motor back in - don't forget to use loktite...

I did my windows with this, it was pretty easy if you have the right tools. instead of screwing it in i rivited it in with a numatic riviter.

Removing the regulator is more trouble than its worth. If you dont keep tension on the regulator when the motor is removed, you will shoot that spring accross the garage. Learned that from experience on the '92.
Plus having to remove all of the tracks is a RPITA.
The SHOEBOX method is great.
