Grr. So I swapped window regulators, tweaked channels, did everything, then the door slam test. . . and it binds up on the way up and the new regulator arm gets bent!
I think I'm going to give up on doing the window myself and seek pro help. That's probably going to have to wait a few months for the wallet to recover from the swap.
Another thing - don't hit the clutch while the clutch slave cylinder is disconnected from the transmission unless you want to spend time reassembling the unit. To be honest, now that I know what I'm doing, it'll only take a minute or two. However, today I spent 30 minutes learning.
So, what did I get done today?
1. Took out my current regulator only to break the new one.
2. Remove more of the front end but didn't really get too far into disconnecting stuff from the engine.
3. Rotate the tires on my buddy's car that I'm borrowing.
Lessons for next time:
1. Bring pillow and blanket for sleeping in garage. It gets really cold around 6am.
2. Spend a lot more time reading up on what I plan to do next.
3. Try to have all the parts I need ahead of time so I don't spend time driving places to buy them.
4. Bring lots of water.
Here are the final pics for this weekend:
