When mine broke, I took the car to a local car window repair shop. They are more skilled than me. Can't give any self-help advice, not mechanical here.

its easier to just remove the whole window regulator assembly out and then take one off your parts car and swap the good window motor into it and reinstall.

I got this from ebscohost. I did it myself and it wasn't that difficult.

Remove the trim panel.
Remove the remote assembly, if so equipped.
Remove the sealing cover.
Remove the rear view mirror from the door.
Remove the outer weatherstrip.
Remove the inner stabilizer.
Loosen the upper stopper bolt from the front of door and glass stoppers and move the door glass.
Remove the upper stopper from the rear of the door.
Remove the bolts which hold the glass holder to the regulator slider.
NOTE: When removing bolts on the regulator slider, move the glass to a position where the bolts can be seen through the service hole. Make the position and tightening allowance of upper stopper bolts before removal. This will make adjustment after installation easy.


Open the door, hold the door glass with both hands and pull it straight up from the door panel.
Remove the wire clip (manual type only).
Remove the regulator base plate and rail.
Remove the regulator assembly through the service hole in the underside of the door.
Disconnect the electrical connectors to the window motor. Unbolt the motor and remove it through the lower service hole in the underside of the door.
Replace any worn or broken parts. Lubricate all sliding parts and reinstall.
Installation is the reverse of removal. Tighten the base plate mounting bolts 4–7 ft. lbs. (5–9 Nm) and the rail mounting nut 7–13 ft. lbs. (10–18 Nm).
