Answer: Jim,
As long as you have a couple screwdrivers and ratchet with 6" extention bar and a 12mm socket, you should not have a problem. The window motor is pretty easy to get to and it shouldn't take you too long. Just be careful not to scratch the glass when removing it from the door. I usually put a rag or old T-shirt betwen the glass and door frame when I've removed windows.
Good luck!
