LeBaron Convertible Top Motor

Has anyone had occasion to change out the motor which raises/lowers the convertible top on a '94 LeBaron? It drives an attached hydraulic pump which does the actual work. I'd rather not accidentally fill the trunk with hydraulic fluid while changing it if there's a way to do this right. And are there any tricks necessary to bleed the system after replacement or is it self bleeding? My car manual talks at length about engines and such, but no mention is made of the convertible top systems.

Also, has anyone tried to change the brushes in this motor? Chrysler naturally wants big bucks for a new unit. They seem to think my old LeBaron is a Mercedes now!

Thanks...
