1991 Honda Accord ; Can't afford a mechanic; how can I replace it myself?

i own a repair shop,and if you have a few good tools ,and the part you can replace it your self,but you,ll need the large pop rivets to put back in it,that hold them in or some new bolts and nuts,first thing you do is remove the door panel from it then the plastic dust cover then you,ll have access to the entire assembly,once there look it over real good,remove the glass and wiggle it out the top of it,its a lot easier this way ,you wont have to fight with it,then drill out the rivets ,and remove the assembly,putting it back is opposite of this ,but you have to be really be careful and take your time with it,a good repair manual like a Haynes will help a lot of you have one,if not i would get one,and just take your time with it,if you get in a hurry you will mess up,even i mess up when being rushed,and i been doing it for 36 years,you can do this though just watch each step of taking it out,good luck with it hope this helps.

u dont need a pop rivit gun for this jsut normal wrenches...the door panels only have a few phillips screws and then all the clips that jsut pull out with a bit of tuggin....the window regulator and motor are all sold in one unit a 10 mm socket will get u in buisness once u get the door panel off u will see the bolts that u need to take off...there easy to get to
