The easiest way is to drill 3 holes with a hole saw in the panel over the mounting bolts and just unscrew the bolts. This lets you leave the regulator in the body. That means no adjustment or fooling with the spring that can take a finger off. The hole saw just needs to be large enough for the socket with a bit of fudging if it's not aligned.

The window will stay up so no clamping is needed.

And... This is how I repaired my motor if that helps you any. Power Window Motor Repair

So the default spring direction is up (unloaded)?

Thks looks like a great idea but how will I know where to drill the holes and then getting the motor out is easy?

I think it's actually more neutral than pushing up. In other words, the spring and the friction of the regulator supports the weight.

I have a template in PDF you can print.
With those three bolts out and one on the motor the motor just falls out.

The reason I'm asking is that I need to pull the regulator to repair rollers.

Take a good look at that picture and this one. This pic is my '70 300, so it should be the same as yours. The pic in my first post isn't my car, but I believe it is a '69.

What you want to do is look at the window motor through the openings and you'll see the 3 bolts around the gear drive that holds the motor to the bracket internal to the "door" area. (Yea, it's not a door as someone likes to point out. LOL.) Close is good enough and you can see where I didn't hit it the first time. Mark it with a pencil and drill a small hole to check and then follow it up with a hole saw.

There's also if you look in the first pic there's 1 bolt below those 3 that holds the bracket on the motor to the body that will need to be removed.

That's a bit tougher to do and it's been a long time since I had a regulator out. The spring is very strong and you want to proceed with caution. IIRC, you want to keep the motor in place when you remove it, but my memory is a little fuzzy on this. I hate to say "do a search", but there's a lot of guys on here that have taken those out.

BTW, I'd love to have a copy of that PDF!
