Sure it is in the Bentley.  It's in the Body, Front Doors section 57...
The illustration shows a manual regulator but the electric one is
not really any different.  Instead of a hand crank, it's got a motor
and some wiring...

Assuming the glasss is in the up position, secure the glass with something
(like a prop rod inside the door).  Unscrew the bolt(s) that fasten
the glass to the regulator carrier, then unscrew the regulator from the
door (3 bolts on the motor assembly, then one or two each at the top and
bottom of the track, if my memory serves me right).  Then the whole
regulator assembly is out.  Pull it through one of the holes in the
door.  Not at all difficult...
