Piece of cake. You have to remove the switch panel first then the door panel. All downhill and cussing from there on.
Of course if you never removed door panels before it is a flamin' beeyatch!
so.. is that who you're asking.
You know they probably have a couple videos on youtube that would give you an idea.

real easy this should explain the whole process

Diagnosing and replacing a power window motor

I WARN YOU
if you dont drill the window regulator and put a bolt serious injury can occur
DO NOT REMOVE THE MOTOR with out doing this step

Unless you wanna loose a few fingers
for example

Our 99 Blazer driver front door motor quit. I took off the door panel and tapped the motor with a hammer and it started working. Havent had a problem since. (about 6 months ago or so.)

When that guy put his head over the assembly,,, I got kinda scared for him. That thing really kicks if you don't drill a hole in it to lock the 2 pieces together, prior to removing the motor! He is WAY luckier than I think he realizes!

I have a question. On page 8, they say replace The motor using rivets or bolts.
Well I don't have a rivet gun and there is no room to get the head of a bolt or
A nut on the back side of the frame because there isn't enough room in between
The gear and the mounting bracket. I have that problem for 2 of the 3 holes.

all the window motors I did I never had issues with the bolts... IM not sure what your talking about. It sounds like the bolts are a little to long if I understand correctly.
