1992 ford f150 drivers side window won't move. Electric seems fine. Bought motor but not sure how to get the old one out and the new one in. Hard to tell, seeing as you cant get your eyes on it. Does motor attach to regulator. How do you remove it from the door?

Removal (Bronco& F-Series Pickup)

Disconnect the battery ground cable.
Remove the door trim panel and watershield. See DOOR TRIM PANEL.
Disconnect power window motor wire from wire harness connector. See Fig. 13.
Check inside the door to make sure electrical wires are not in line with holes to be drilled in the door inner panel. Using a 1/2-inch (12.7mm) diameter drill bit, drill two holes in the door inner panel at the drill dimples located opposite the two unexposed motor drive retainer screws.
Remove the three motor mount retainer screws using two drilled holes and existing larger hole access to screw heads.
Push the motor toward the outside sheet metal to disengage the motor and drive from the regulator gear. After the motor and drive are disengaged, prop the window in full UP position.
Remove the motor and drive from inside the door. See Fig. 13.
