On my 96', it took about two and a half hours...I work slow. And I took the regulator out. (changed the faucets yesterday in our bathroom...it took me an hour each.)

Bob, Not sure about the motor, but you can get the entire scissor style regulator from thepartsladi for ~$100

removing your old one and installing the new one....how long will it take you to get the door panel off?? Add about 15 minutes to that time as it is a super easy job.
