IML; 65 window motor booby-trap



Steve,

You, my Imperial friend, are headed into seriously gashed finger
territory.  Proceed with great caution while doing this job.

The window regulator assembly must be unbolted from the door and slid
front or rear to access all three motor-to-regulator screws.  If you
slide the regulator front or rear far enough to disengage it from the
window glass frame, you have pulled the hand grenade pin.  Then, when
you gleefully remove the final motor screw and pull it free of the
regulator, a most terrible surprise awaits you.  The coiled-up
counterbalance spring will accelerate that nasty, sharp-edged regulator
arm onto your waiting hand with amazing force.  It is no fun to
experience this.  Blood will flow.
Read the service manual procedure for the details regarding motor
removal.  I am not intimately familiar with the 65 regulator, but I do
know it has a nasty bite!

  I have tried to get the motor out before with NO luck.  (the passenger
side motor was simple)  It appears that there is a hidden bolt
or screw hidden behind the regulator.  Does anyone know how to access
this?
