300 SD Power Window Slider install ???

My rear side power window stopped going up and down. Took it apart and found plastic window slider, 1" x 1", was broken in half. Got a new one at dealer. Now I am TRYING to install it. It appears that orginal stud that was molded into the plastic is still stuck in the motor arm. It is either pressed or pinned over - How do I get this out.

I tryed using a small clamp to press it out and now I may have slightly bent the motor arm.

How do I get this out and how do I get the new one in, pressed or pinned? Do I need to remove the motor arm to do this?

Waiting for your help with this matter. Thanks, Nik

Just did the same repair...

last weekend. I easily did the repair with the arm in the door. The pin is peened into the arm from the factory but that seemed like too much unnecessary work! First, I drilled out the old pin. Next I removed the new pin from the new slider and used a slightly longer machine bolt (tapered flat head) and lock washer positioned in the slider. The slider halves should fit together with wiggle room for the bolt. Install the slider in the track.Then I used a flat washer, then attached the arm, then another flat washer followed with a locking nut. No need to crank it down tight, just snug so the arm pivots freely. I painted wheel bearing grease into the track on all sides and tested the window. Reinstalled the door panel and finished in about an hour. Works like new...

I tried your method first after reading an old thread using a 1/16" hole and cotter pin but the stud was just a tad too short or the arm was too thick. It would definitely have been the preferred method rather than spending time at Home Depot...

Went to Home Depot last night... spent 60$ on stuff I didn't think was going to buy yesterday morning when I work up but now I own a Dremel tool. It took me about an hour total in Home Depot, but I’m going to post up all the parts and pics of me doing this when I’m done, so if it works as well as I think, it will save others the hour I spent at the Depot. I bought a Clevis Pin that had the same head size and thickness as the stud that came with the new slider I bought. I also got a cotter pin and some flat washers.

well, whatever your situation you can very easily push the stud through the hole and see just how much room you have. On my 82, there was enough room for the 1/16" cotter AND a .035" thick washer. YMMV.
