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

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
