I've done the driver's side with no issues - fairly easy. I now have to do
the passenger side (it stops about 1/2" from fully closing - I have to
wait till the circuit breaker cools, then it closes fully). Anyway:

It's not too bad actually. Pulling the door panel off is prolly harder than anything else. You'll need to drill out the stock rivets that secure it to the door (if it hasn't been replaced prior). It's about an hour long job.
