Restoring original power antenna motors - midyears

I haven't done it in a couple of years, but if you clean everything really well and grease it all up - wind the cable into the can - and you may have to remove/loosen the motor drive to get the whole thing to snap together. I would install new override springs (cut hardware store stock) and ***** from a bearing shop - as well as grind small ramps for the ***** to climb the override stops (to keep the override working easily).
