window motor install problem ok, following the instructions on the shoebox website, i got the panel off fine, saw 2 rivets, drilled them out, but realized that the motor looks like it has 2 rivets holdin it to the whole regulator assembly?? 
the diagrams were showin 3 rivets to drill, but i only saw 2 that were directly holdin the motor down.
i've seen people post up here that they can swap their motors within an hour, so im almost 100% positive that i dont have to take out the whole assembly just to get the motor out... where am i goin wrong?
also, the diagram on shoebox is for his 95z, and since i have an '02z, wuld that make a difference? btw, its the passenger side im swappin out.

There's just 3 rivets holding the motor. I used his guide when I replaced mine. Print out the pic showing the rivet locations and bring it out to the car. I removed the speaker, unplugged the motor connector and when the third rivet went the motor just fell to the bottom of the door.
