You know replacing the motor isn't hard guys lol. Wouldn't be a bad idea to lubricate the window tracks also.

I tried taking the motor out but once I got all 3 of the motor bolts out it was still stuck in there and I couldn't figure it out

The original motors are harder to get in and out but it will come out one way or another. I've replaced both of mine and while it was frustrating at first I didn't have a problem.

Do you just keep wiggling it around until it comes free

could you not get it to move after you unscrewed it or could you just not get it out of the door completely?

After I unscrewed it, it felt like it was still bolted in

the first one I had to put in was extremely stiff after the bolts where removed. a little biy of force popped it loose. and I've had to change them out plenty of times but with the lifetime warranty it's no big deal and I drilled holes so I could take the bolts out with a ratchet. makes it a breeze to change. I wish i would've done it that way the first time.

im not sure if the op has acknowledged an answer yet, but the most common problem with these trucks is the motor gears. i have replaced both motors to this problem. the gear wears down, no friction. you can either A) take motor out, dis assemble, replace gear put back or B) for about the same $$ and alot less work just replace the motor.

also replacing the motors come with a limited lifetime warranty. so if it happens again it's no big deal
