[DeTomaso] Need a tip about window motors.

[Dave Londry]

Thanks everybody for the answers.
The guts of it is - pull the whole damn thing out the top rear opening.
(with a minority call for a lower, small opening, but I can't find the 
link on the Vader site)

The L manual, 43-01-03 Window Regulator Removal clearly says:
9.   Lower the regulator and remove the power window motor.
10. Remove the regulator from the door.
And it's clearly wrong.
It also says to put it back by putting the regulator back in and then 
attaching the motor.
thanks again
dave

Subject: [DeTomaso] Need a tip about window motors.

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
