Not hard at all, just take your time. I used shoebox's guide too. You might even find the motor was replaced before (if you're not the original owner) and the rivets already drilled - that was the case when I helped a buddy do his a few weeks ago on his 2K.

Regulators If you haven't yet bought the new motors you may look into just getting the regulators. Mine went out on the driver side and was super slow on the passenger. I checked a few things out and ended up spending less dough just getting the regulators!

Yeah, i just finished the driver side 2 days ago....now i notice the pass. getting slower and sloower.... next weekend project!
My driver side took about 45min and it was my first time. My drill holes are a lil odd shaped but other than that no probs. I just pre-emptively bought the pass side motor just in case. Gettin a lil slow.
