i have a 79 f-250 and the windsheild washer motor recently quit working. I have never replaced one before. My question, How do i pull the old motor out, without damaging the plastic?

You just pull the retaining ring out and the pump comes out. Before you remove it check to make sure it's getting power.

Good advice. I've been able to gently wiggle them out with a set of pliers. IIRC there are some slots on each side to let you get a grip. The new motor should only be around $12; I think the washer motor used on these trucks was used in every Ford for 20 years or so (don't quote me on that).

I bought one at my local NAPA last year. It should still be readily available.

I can't quote you, cuz that's not quite correct.
