Default Trying to replace 96DX coupe Driver Window Regulator. HELP

Manual window regulator. driver side, 96 DX coupe.

Does the damn steel crank assembly need to be broken/cut off the regulator to get the old unit out and new unit installed/?

I'm trying man it's pissing me off. I even cut the welds off with a dremel and it's not budging. Do I gotta pry it off, cut it off, wiggle it out?

Did you buy an aftermarket regulator and are you sure it is for a manual roll up window?

well the window regulator is from Oriellys, I'm sure it's OEM spec. Everything looks the same I'm just trying to get that dam window shaft off so I can put it on the new one.

you don't have to break anything. follow this link guys, http://repo.jackmoves.com/v/erik/album106/album206/

it's for a power window conversion but will explain how to remove the old regulator without damaging anything, it worked for me.

dam it is power windows. I just called Oreillys and asked to confirm, that dumb *** didn't know what I was talking about. Poor customer service, I asked if he can let someone else know or e-mail support to find out. I'm on hold for 10 minutes then he said yes they're power windows then hangs up.

I thought it looked different. Check your local junkyard/pick-n-pull and you can find them there for cheap. Also check the classifieds and ebay. If that fails try here: www.car-part.com

Thanks, I'm going to return these things tomorrow and get my 70 bux back. Found a local who will let me have the set for 40.
