Default 1985 Headlight motor help

I need help with headlight motor disassembly. The 1985 motor is different than later model c4's. I have the headlight assemlt off of the hood, but how do I get the motor off of the asssembly. There is no #30 torx screw like in the later model c4's. I am on the passenger side if that helps.

theres a 13 mm nut up inside on the motor shaft, takes a 6" extension and a wobble socket.

3--10mm bolts, the 13 on the shaft. Then you can lift the motor off.

At this point you say you are unfamiliar with these?
The inside is a complex as the cars ABS..limit switches, breakers floating armature, oh yeah.....

the gears that like to strip.
And be very careful when reassembling the motor case. If done wrong, nothing works.
