Re: [Chrysler300] electric window motor removal ?

[Bill Huff <czbill@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Jeff,

It has been a few years since I had mine apart, so the memory rolodex 
cards are a little frayed and greasy.  The warnings about the spring 
are valid, can you envision a spring powered guillotine?  I seem to 
recall that by using a Phillips screwdriver I was able to push it 
through a hole in the mechanism and in the quadrant to block the 
spring from unloading.  I was able to remove the motor and gear drive 
at that time.  Reinstalling just meant pushing slightly against the 
spring to reposition in original mesh.  I removed the motor and the 
window lift mechanism as a whole and did the rest on the 
workbench.  In my case. the motor was fine, but the gear box was bone 
dry.  Some solvent and brake clean washing and a re-lube made it work 
again, although the gears are quite worn from years of no grease.  It 
is not a particularly hard job, just need to be sure the spring won't 
unwind when the gear box is removed.  My car is a 58 300D, so the 
gear box has little sheet metal covers, they are difficult to remove 
without damaging or bending.  I thing I sealed mine with a silicon 
sealer when done.
