Re: window regulator
wasn't to hard did all six in about a half hour. first I ground down the back of the rivet on the bench grinder. then used a socket and drove the rivit out with a punch. then I ground a little off of the new rivet. (I felt the new one was a little long) then stuck it in a smaller socket and peened it over with a hammer. the first one i used a drift and a punch but found just the hammer worked best. be carefull not to smash it to much or the roller wont roll. all n all it was pretty easy. im sure there is a tool out there that makes the rivet look professionally installed, but i dont have it.

Re: window regulator
i get 90% of all my stuff from classic parts. I think they have the best prices on most things and there shipping is always reasonable.
