Removing running board motor from bracket

[dkad260]

Has anyone replaced just the motor? If so, how did you remove it from the bracket? Is this done with a press or does it just R&R easily? I have a new motor but don't see how it comes out of the bracket.

Thanks.

The bracket as in the hinge or the long running board bracket? It bolts together but if they don't come apart it's probably seized.
I bought the assembly with the motor and hinge when I did mine.

Yeah, the hinge that holds the long motor shaft. I might grab the whole assembly and keep the spare motor.
