Removing headlight raising motor?
#1

I have determined I have a bad motor on drivers side so I need to replace. I removed as much of the headlight and covers as possible and have the arm as forward as possible, but still not even close to having the room needed to remove mounting bolts down in there. How is this done? The air tube that runs along side of it is also in the way it seems.

you can remove the rest of that frame, there is three alllen bolts in the rear that will allow all that to come out, and give access

Removing the outer frame will not increase the space as the pivoting arm it is mounted on will still be in the way. I don't see any way to remove the arm without removing the front of the car or side fender. Is there another way?

1) raise the lights (so they'll stay up)
2) turn off ignition
3) put headlight to "service" position
4) Disconnect heim joints and remove bar (chances are, the gunky lube on these is contributing to, if not causing, your problem.)
5) Remove center bolt that holds the rotating lever arm to the motor.
6) Remove the three bolts that hold the motor to the assembly.
7) Pull the wire keepers out of their holes (I wish there was a way to do this without breaking them. Mine were so old and brittle I had no success at it. I'm still looking for a source to replace them.)
8) Unplug the wire loom and remove the motor through the rear access.

Yes I understand. The problem is I can't do get my hand in there to do it. Space is the problem with the arm that holds the headlight in place. And there is no way to remove the arm, that I can see. I need to teach a mouse to do it for me I guess.
