1.Remove door panel
2.Lower window to access holes in door inner panel. Remove two nut and washer assemblies retaining glass to front door window channel bracket.
3.Prop window in the full up position
4.Disconnect wiring.
5.Remove two nut and washer assemblies retaining window regulator equalizer arm bracket.
6.Remove three rivets and one nut and washer assembly retaining the regulator to the door inner panel as follows:
A.Remove the center pin from each rivet with a drift punch.
B.Use a 6mm drill to drill out the rest of the rivet being careful not to enlarge the sheet metal retaining holes.
7.Remove the regulator through the access hole in door.

Don't try to remove the regulator counterbalance spring. If you do, be sure the regulator arms are in a fixed position to avoid injury due to c-spring unwind!!!!!!!!!!
