[DeTomaso] Need a tip about window motors.

[Dave Londry]

I finally got around to pulling my drivers side window motor.
It went pretty smoothly until I got to the instruction (in the Pantera 
manual)
  "Lower the regulator assembly and remove the window motor"
The outer pair of 8mm nuts took about 10 mins to remove.
The top one of the inner pair took about 15 mins.
The bottom one took about an hour and involved watching in a mirror as I 
banged 3 or 4 faces of the nut around
  with a tiny, pointed punch until I could spin it with a finger.

It will have to go back, which will be easier, but there must be a 
better way??
Any suggestions welcome - just be subtle when you call me stupid.
thanks
dave
