Power Windows

[Dan D.]

Can you guys tell me how to get the power window motors out of my 57? I have the 4 screws holding the motor out, but I don't know how to separate it from the regulator. May have to take the lower hinge off and I did not want to do that as the doors are on the car.

Thanks,

Dan, I'm going from memory, but I did my '61 about 3 years ago, and if you removed all of the screws holding the motor to the regulator, the gear should just pull apart. I did not remove any of the hinges.

The real reason for my post is the installation back into the door. You can not maintain the spring tension without the motor being in place and will have to install one of the 4 screws from behind. This will maintain the spring tension, allow you to set the regulator into place, re install the motor, and than secure every thing properly.
