[urq] Window Regulator Motor Woes

[Maurits Jonkergouw]

Hi Ingo, thanks again. Today I was trying to get the worm shaft back in the 
gear housing like you said to check for proper operation, but it seems there 
is no way to get it back in place and I'm getting a grasp of why these 
buggers are sold as a complete sets...

Any idea how to get the shaft back in completely? I've noticed the entrance 
of the gear housing is a ball bearing of some sort and allows to slide the 
shaft in with an angle, but after a good 15 minutes of rocking and swearing 
I gave up, for today...

Regards,
Maurits
