It's been a while but IIRC there are three or four bolts that bolt the
regulator to the door frame.Eventually you'll also have to loosen the bolts
on the two brackets that hold the window to the reg and disconnect the motor
to get it out. IT's best also to tape the window in the up position to
facilitate the removal/install of the regulator. What I found helped getting
the picture was buying the regulator and placing it side by side to figure
out what needed to be done.
