Removing a Headlight Motor?

So I've been reading around on multiple websites and guides on my headlight motor problems. My problem is that my driver's side headlight does not come up by itself, but it will go down by itself. The passenger side does come up, but it often gets stuck on something (the nose of the car, I think).

Reading around, I've learned that often out car's motors little pucks in the gears disentegrate and that causes it not to function right, but we can basically shove anything of equal size down in there and it would work.

My question is, how do I go about removing the headlight motor? Do I need to remove the entire headlight pod or what? If so, how? I'm a bit afraid of tearing into this in fear I'll break something. lol. So if it is a relatively simple process and there's not much to it, please explain the process to me and I'll get out there as soon as I've read your guide.
