Question HELP! I've got to put in a new window motor

Took my 1983 Suburban in for its yearly transmission maintenance. For some reason they decided to put down the driver's side window and it decided not to go back up . Brought the vehicle home on a typical grey, wet November day in Seattle with the window stuck in the down position, no garage, street parking only. Took the door panels off and after a number of frustrating hours troubleshooting the system I was able to determine that power was getting to the motor. Very hard to do that with the windown down. I was able to give the motor a good quick smack with the ballpeen hammer and up it went.

Got the replacement motor and am ready to go to work. Naturally the GM shop manual would be a great resource if I knew what I was doing and just needed a reminder and the Chilton's useless. Anybody got any experience with this particular maneuver? Any tricks, tips, warnings, step-by-step instructions anyone would care to share with a determined amateur, who knows just enough to be really dangerous, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
