Most of these problems are the plastic gears, they disintegrate with age. You can get replacements at auto parts. Last I bought was $13 bucks. The motor/gear assembly will come off by itself, three small screws, 8mm I think. Two are exposed, and the other is behind the door. There is a small indentation in the door where the screw would be in relation to the other two. You drill a hole in the door to access the last screw. Once you look at it, you will see what I am talking about.shady

I've heard 1/4" nuts (like for 1/4" bolts) work to replace the bushings, but if it's $5 for the right parts I might just do it right when I do the explorer and lincoln...

I saw the plastic drive rollers in AutoZone the other day. I had scored them off of eBay before.

Nope. SOFIA. Much smaller project than Titan (and it's 500 or 200 miles north, depending on how you count).

I get to be the algorithms guru, flight planning product lead, and simulators lead. #2 is my "real job."

From the Explorerforum post, it seems my idea was almost right, but I would have had some troubles with that "dimple" thing. I did spot the two other screws.
