Well whadayaknow. After grinding a hole roughly 8.75x3.5 inches in the
door, it was easy as pie.
3 bolts and the motor dropped right out. The replacement wasnt exactly
"bolt on" but was able to sort out what needed doing and get it
mounted.
Tip, if you have to do this, taking the time needed to file down the
hole perimeter, while time consuming and a sweaty job, is well worth
not having you arm sliced to pieces.
Thanks much for the advice guys!
