[DeTomaso] Need a tip about window motors.

[Mike Drew]

Dave,

Despite what the manual says, you don't separate the motor from the regulator until they are both in your hands. It's virtually impossible to remove/install a window motor by itself. 

Sometimes RTFM is not the way forward, unfortunately!
