How to remove tailgate crank assembly 89 K5

Window is about 3/4 way up and the window crank feels like it stripped and the window will not move. I found the assembly on LMC but curious how to disassemble my old one. Already removed the tailgate panel just do not want to take out more than I have to. Any tips appreciated.

You have to get the window back down to the point where you can unbolt the window from the regulator. You then have to move the regulator to expose the bolts holding it in.

they should be 7/16th bolts. i think if you feel like scraping up your hands a bit you can kinda bend your wrist around in there and get at those bolts even with the window all the way up
