[DeTomaso] Need a tip about window motors.

[jderyke at aol.com]

One needs to lower the glass to reach the connections from glass to regulator arm. Then you lift the loose glass up and block it in place for access to the regulator and arm. Possibly the BEST description of the whole stock-removal process comes from Ted Mitchell for installation of his cable-drive window lifts. I'd had mine out a couple of times before, but Ted's step-by-step was far simpler and came out the SMALLER hole in the door, not the larger one as I'd been doing.Never too old to learn.... FWIW- J Deryke

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
