make sure to zip tie the assembly together so the clock spring does not go flying off. Have fun, it is a bitch. It took me about two hours start to finish, then I found the spring came off the regulater, so then add about another 3 to that. BS!!

Kewl, i hope it doesn't take me 4-5 hrs. I really suck at things like that but it can't be harder then changing plugs and wires.

A little white lithium grease won't hurt, and blue loctite on the replacement bolt nuts, and a C-clamp to hold the window up.

wear a long sleeve shirt or something and gloves. That fiberglass will shred your arms/hands and you won't even realize it till a few hours later.

Make sure you follow the instructions at this link:

Power Window Motor Replacement

There is no reason to remove the entire window regulator mechanism. This link will show you how to do it the easy way. Took me about 1 hr. each side from start to finish.
