Not really and getting the motor off requires drilling the door

I don't know what year you have, but my 90 had rivets from the factory. I had to drill out the heads and buy 1 of those giant pop riveters. Maybe someone figured out a way to bolt it in, but not bolt it out...Mark

My window regulator had teeth missing on it. I got another one. Well what a job. To replace. Took the door apart. Had to take side window out to get old regulator out. Tried to get the new one back in. After a lot of try's and some blood. I remembered the sticky Jim Lane wrote. Took the motor off the regulator drilled the holes in the door to put motor back on. Put the side window back in and everything else. The regulator slide right in. Took like 5 mins. Bolted the motor back on. Was real easy and did not loose no more blood. If you ever replace the window regulator take the motor off first. Real easy to change. Wanted to say thanks to Jim Lane. If not for his sticky would be still out in the driveway passed out from lack of blood.
