I have a 1998 ford f150 4x4 styleside pickup. I need to replace the drivers side window motor. Mixed answers. Are the motor bolts easy to access. Are the bolts behind the metal wall at the dimples. Do I need to drill these dimples out witha 3/4"" bi-metal hole saw to access the bolts that attach the motor to the regulator. Please advise.

REMOVAL

Raise the front door window glass to the full up position.
Remove the front door trim panel.
Peel back the front door watershield.
To access the power window motor bolts, use a 3/4-inch hole saw with a 1/4-inch pilot to drill two holes at the existing drill dimples on the door.
NOTE: Make sure the electrical connector is not in the way before drilling

Remove the power window motor.
1 Remove the bolts.
2 Disconnect the electrical connector.
3 Remove the power window motor.

NOTE: Prior to motor removal, make sure the regulator arms are in a fixed position to prevent counterbalance spring unwind.
