Default Headlight Motor

I recently purchased nylon bushings from Mid America to repair the passenger side headlight motor.
Can someone please tell me how to remove the motor assembly. Does the whole housing have to come out or can I just remove the motor.
I sure could use some advice!
Thanks, Chris

I had to remove the assembly from my '88 so that I could drive out the drift pin from the motor shaft.

Then the motor assy. could be separated from the headlight.

Few things delight me more than helping a fellow Corvette enthusiast.

You holler back here if you run into any snags. If you accidentally break a motor brush or something like that (heaven forbid) I can help you with that, too.
