Thanks for the update Cody. If I can hide out from the missus for a few hours this weekend, I'll do all the stuff I'm supposed to do on the site -- including, opening up a drop for members to put there images. Stay tuned! And thanks again for joining. Beat the bushes, tell your friends and acquainta...

Dan, Matthew says the window operates fine from the master switch. The wires only get hot when trying to operate from separate window switch. This indicates a short in the individual switch...how this could happen, I cannot imagine. Pull out the switch and bench test it. And, while the switch is ou...

How do you lower a rear window when it isn't going down with the p/w switch?? (*sigh*) If it's the motor, Matthew, the only way I know is to remove the panel and turn the drive shaft by hand. If the motor is frozen, as in my case, you will first have to remove the motor. But then, you will need to ...

Meanwhile, the bushing is soaking in penetrating oil. A first attempt at a light nudge didn't budge it, but Roger's right: Patience is the word here. A little more oil every day, and some vibration to work it in, before I bring out the big guns... Yeah, well, I'm still not whackin' it. But it hasn'...

I am sure now that you are right, Tom. I've removed the retainer fragments, and it's clear that there's a well for the bushing to sit in; when assembled, there's no reason for it to shift. And now, I have a convenient hole for routine oiling :P Meanwhile, the bushing is soaking in penetrating oil. A...

So Tom, you think that once the assembly is back together, the bushing won't drift? I guess I could test that -- assemble, and try to wiggle the shaft. My concern was that the armature might come in contact with the field magnets if it drifted at all. I'll give it a try, and see how it goes. Thanks ...

Tom's suggestion was a good one. I drilled a small hole in the recess that holds the bushing, and dripped in some rust cutter, a couple of times. Then I took a punch, braced the housing, and tapped the armature out... Voila! Out it came. With the bushing still attached... :cry: https://59plymouth.ne...

Charlie, I definitely see disk brakes in my future. I'll probably get a kit, though, I'm nowhere near as ambitious as you :P My interior bears some semblance to the original, but it's definitely not factory; and it's now painted red, where it once was bronze. I won't drill any holes in the dash, eit...
