I finally pulled my headlight motor it only took ten minutes. On all the posts it said the car had to have the bottom piece removed but if you take the whole unit out it is pretty simple and not needed. The gear had no wear but when I turned the wheel white powder poured out. The bushings were completely destroyed. It is also not to difficult to figure out how to replace the bushings. My only question is I hear people using bearings but I am not sure where to get ones this size I think some simple rubber ***** would work because it is supposed to flex on bumps. If I figure out why my digital camera is not working I will post the fix on the other side but it really is very simple even with big hands.

I thought it was easy too. I removed the cover that goes around the headlight, unplugged the headlight and motor, and then removed the whole headlight assembly by taking out the 4 10mm bolts on the Bracket that mounts it to the Radiator Support Brace(?). Then I took the motor apart and used JB Weld besides Bearings. I did mine over a year ago with no problems so far. Someone else did the same thing which was where I got the idea, forgot who it was.
