Rear window motor removal 66 New Yorker 2 Dr Hdtp

[-stew-]

How in the eff do I get this thing out!?!?!? I need to get both of them out and lube everything up. Drivers rear I know works and I have that half ripped apart to get it out. I pulled the passenger front one out and pulled everything apart and lubed everything up and it went from not working to working pretty good. Thanks in advance!!

I'll be doing the same thing on my 66 2 door. Did you figure the rears out or have any tips? Or hints for the fronts? Thanks,
Doug.

If it's up, I'd leave it alone. I got my drivers side out. It has entirely more moving parts than a window needs. I don't know if it's worth the trouble or worth the risk of breaking something very hard to obtain that could render the window stuck down. Tomorrow I will be putting mine back together, I don't know that I will be doing the passenger side. Knowing now that every part of the mechanism has to come out to get the window out, and the window has to come out to get the regulator out; I don't know that I want to do the other side. If it goes together easy I might change my mind. What I might do is lock the regulator with a bold and pull the motor with the regulator in place.

Over 48 years the grease they used turns to kind of a wax. Brake cleaner to clean it out and slathering new grease in there does wonders.

The front door was easy. No real tips to offer.

The rear window regulator has two rollers that fit into the window channel assemble. Using a piece of flat stock, a length of stiff wire coat hanger, fashion a gook to raise/lower window once the regulator is out. the two rollers on the regulator are held on with "spring nuts." There are four tabs on the spring nuts, they clip over a ridge on the "axle" get in your arm in there with a pick and pop two of the tabs over the ridge and then you can pop the nuts off and then slide the roller off the axle (stud.) Then you can remove the regulator once it is unbolted.

All that once you've removed the interior panel. I suggest first removing the rear seat lower, and then the plastic trim that mimics the seat lower along the interior panel. It has two screws holding it to the floor and it hooks into two clips on the panel. take the screws out, then lift it straight up.

If you click on the picture you can go to photobucket and expand the picture and see the rollers and the spring nuts on the regulators.

I just took the motor out of the rear pass side of my 300 convertible. I drilled a hole through the 2 regulator arms & put a bolt in with a nut to hold it. The motor came out a lot easier then taking all the works out. I cleaned the motor gears & the tracks, re lubed & the window works great. Hope this helps.

Thanks for showing me what I'm getting into. Doug
