Correction, 98-02's motors are a bitch. 93-97's are pretty easy. Changed my headlight motor out with a cast on my right arm, only took about 30 minutes.

Didn't notice anything very hard. I'm able to remove or install them within 1/2 hour.

Getting the bumper assembly off, that's another matter. A lot of hard to get bolts, especially if the structure is crunched from an accident.
