I've not done an explorer but when removing the whole assembly from a
mustang I had to drill out rivets. If your new parts really only go
in the motor you may be able to just remove the motor and not the
whole assembly. Again, that was my Mustang experience when the nylon
gears wore out, I only pulled the motor to replace them, not the whole
assembly.

Explorer, Front Door
Removal
1. Raise the window to the full-up position, if possible. If the glass
cannot be raised and is in a partially down position, it must be supported
so that it will not fall into the door well during motor removal.

2. Disconnect battery ground cable.

NOTE: On vehicles equipped with EEC, when the battery has been
disconnected and reconnected, some abnormal drive symptoms may occur while
the EEC processor relearns its adaptive strategy. The vehicle may need to be
driven 10 miles or more to relearn the strategy.

3. Remove door trim panel and watershield. Refer to Section 01-05B.

4. Disconnect window motor connector.

5. Position the motor wiring harness out of the way. There are two holes
and one drill dimple located on the door inner panel adjacent to the motor.

CAUTION: Prior to motor removal, make sure that the regulator arm is in a
fixed position to prevent counterbalance spring unwind.

6. Remove the three window motor mounting screws and disengage the motor
and drive assembly from the regulator quadrant gear.


Installation
1. Position the motor and drive to the regulator and install the three
sct~ews snug, not tight.

2. Connect the motor wires at the connector and cycle the glass to ensure
gear engagement. After the gears are engaged, tighten the three motor and
drive attaching screws to 5.6-9.6 N.m (50-84 in-Ib).

3. Install the door trim panel and watershield. Refer to Section 01 -05B.

NOTE: Appropriate plug buttons may be installed to cover the exposed hole
at the trim panel edge, if necessary.

Connect battery ground cable.

Check the drain holes at the bottom of the doors to ensure that each is
open to prevent water buildup over the motor.
