I've used the bent screwdrivers and also a little $2 ratchet thing that had Philips Heads bits. (gotta be small though)

Putting the replacement back in is harder than getting the old one out.

I've found that you have to get the window into the totally up position to re-install.

Thanks looks like i'm headin to the hardware store this week and lookin for a DAMN tiny ratchet set with phillips head. I've already lost the skin off my knuckle with blood now left somewhere in the drivers door!!! ahh the complexity of a japanese car never ceases to amaze me!!!

I've done this a couple of times. You need a 90 degree #2 or larger phillips head. Ratcet or fixed. Use 2 soft clamps to hold the window up, then unscrew the 4 screws that hold the motor in place against the inner door skin. then work the motor down the inside along the tracks so you have room to move. Now you can remove the 3 inner screws as well as an acre of skin :confused:

When installing the new one put it in as low as possible on the curved gear, then hook up the electrics and wind it gradually up into line so the door skin screws line up.

Tint is safe and new motor in.

Hope that helps

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
