Do the motor with the window up, it allows you more room to work. Before
you start, grab the handyman's secret weapon...duct tape. Tear off a couple
strips to use to hold the window in the "up" position, start the tape on the
outside of the glass and wrap right over the top of the door edge, back onto
the glass on the inside, this will help keep the window up, some windows
have tendency to slide down (very fast) and the metal edges can / have cut
fingers, wires amongst other things.,

Hello Group. I have a Haynes Repair Manual which is about a half-step
above
no manual at all. How do I get the key lock cylinder out? Also, when
removing
the power window motor, is it done with the window down or up? Thanks.

Lock cylinder removal: The cylinder is held in place by a horseshoe shape
clip with flat edge bent up. Reach into the door cavity and feel around, the
flat edge should be on the side of the cylinder closest to the mirror for
easy removal. When you locate it, wedge a screwdriver between the flat edge
and the cylinder and slide the clip out towards the mirror. There may be a
wire attached to the end of the cylinder and there will be linkage attached.
I find it easier to disconnect this stuff from the outside with the cylinder
hanging out.

Power window regulator removal: To remove the regulator, grind off the
rivets (7 I think). You will need the window down 3/4 to access the bolt
that attaches the regulator to the glass. This bolt may be a real pain in
the *** because it will likely have lock-tite on it and will spin the nut on
the backside.
