Anyone have any tips on replacing the driver side window lift motor on a 87 Blazer? Looks like a pain to get to.

just remember to prop the window glass up with a board or something so it wont slam down on ya when doing the motor and also have someone help ya the extra pair of hands comes in handy

Just go by the instructions and do not forget to relieve the tension on the spring if not it will come after you. No short cuts on doing it and it is a bear. I replaced mine in my 86 and it took me most of a day.

Yep....take the glass out. only four 7/16 bolts and it will save alot of time.
