Power window motor replacement
1993 Explorer Sport 2D
I am trying to replace the power window motor but can not get to the last bolt/screw. I have taken out two bolts and poped out the three rivets. There is one more bolt that I can not get to. I have a Haynes manual (P.O.S.)
and of course it does not have anything about it.
The motor will not budge. Any ideas???

If it is anything like my old Marquis I had, you have to drill a hole large enough to get a nutdriver or ratchet extension through.
The factory actually went so far as to put a "ding" mark with a punch to show you exactly where to drill.....Profanity Removed!!..... if they could do that, why didn't they just go ahead and drill the damn hole ??!!

You know I saw that ding and was thinking this might be the way but I had the other side replaced a few months ago by a shop and they didn't drill to replace it.
I was thinking there was probably some sort of special tool but I can't see the harm in putting a hole there

Power window motor replacement
Worked on my new 93 explorer this weekend. Need help with removing power window regulator. Drilled holes and can remove the motor which works fine. I suspect the plastic gear is stripped. How do I remove it? Drill out rivits? replace with what? A local salvage yard sells the gear for $25 new !!! I wanted to see how is it removed then replaced before I buy it. Any help?

I just bought a re-built one at the local auto parts place. The re-build kit wasn't much cheaper than getting the whole motor, but my motor was bad, not the gear.
