Robert,

being as I have just done this, let me give you my tips. The article I didn't write. I added the last three photos, so as to have a pic of the drivers side.

The top part, is a good look at what needs to be done to the passenger side. Make sure you clamp it in a vise just like the pics show. No way you want the regulator slapping you up side the head. Also, if it moves when you take the motor off, it's a total pain getting it back in the right place so you can get the rollers in the channels.

Taking it out is pretty simple. Raise the window all the way up, after you get the door panel off. Use a clamp or some duct tape to hold the window up. Unplug the motor and remove the two bolts and two nuts holding it in. Then just work it out the hole. I removed my door handle to get the rod out of the way. My motors came with a new mounting bracket so I didn't need to drill out the rivets. I just bolted on the new bracket with the small screws and nuts.

The drivers side is reversed. If you clamp it like the top pics show, it will let the regulator move. You have to clamp it on the other side, or you can use bolts and nuts. Anything to hold it in place, before, taking the motor off the regulator.

Again, the biggest reason you don't want the regulator to move when the motor is off is because it's a biotch to get it back in the same positon it came out. I know this for a fact. I clamped the wrong side on the drivers side and it moved. It took me twice as long to get this side done as it did the passenger side. It's not bad to do. It took me about 30 to 40 minutes on the passenger side. I had over an hour on the drivers side because it moved on me.

Oh, on your question. Yes, get some white lithium grease. It comes in tubes. Grease the rollers and tracks. I also put some on the gear on the new motors.

Good luck with it.
