If it is anything like the TD, the old one just comes out and the new one should go in the same way, fairly apparent once you open up the door panel. A few bolts to undo, then some gyrations to get it out of the door, gyrations to get it back in, bolt it back up. It helps to undo the glass from the reg, then pull it up and put some little wood wedges in it at the bottom of the window frame to hold it up so you don't have to fight it while you are removing/replacing the reg.

You might also be able to fix the old one if it is just bent or something has sheared -- I fixed one of mine where a big rivet on the raising arm gear end had sheared off, and "realigned" one that was bent with a couple of 2x4s and some stomping -- a highly-sophisticated procedure not well-documented in the manual.

I will have a cerveza for you in a few minutes.
