The job went good . After spraying brake cleaner into places that can only b=
e reached with the window winder removed. Then a light spray of WD 40 . The w=
indow goes up and down like new. My only problem was once I unscrewed the wi=
nder , it is very hard to find the correct angle to move it around to get it=
 out from behind the inner door brace that it and the door opening mechanism=
 mounts to . Does anybody have a method to remove this from behind brace ? I=
 ended up sliding it up as far as I could as the door has a little more dept=
h as the outer door skin contour bulges out . Then pulling that brace out a l=
ittle I was able to get it out , then go through it again to reinstall it =F0=
=9F=98=A9 . Any thoughts would be appreciated as I have a few Healey BJ8 fri=
ends that I=E2=80=99m sure will want me to preform this operation on there h=
ard to wind up widows.=20
    Thanks as always, Don 67 BJ8=20
