Question

Answer
The closest I can come is the information from a 1986 Chilton's mnaual.

For window motor removal, it reads:

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Remove the door panel.
3. Remove the window regulator for clearance (if necessary).
4. Disconnect the wiring connector to the window motor.
5. Remove the motor to door frame bolts.
6. Remove the window motor.
7. Installation is the reverse of removal.

I have written a note in my Chilton's book that says to unbolt and slide window regulator forward to remove motor.  I know that I wrote this note after changing the driver's side window motor in my 83 G-20 without removing the glass.
