My '88 Z-24 convertible power top motor just mysteriously died, getting voltage to the motor but won't run either direction. Had to disconnect the hyd lines from the motor to manually move the top. I haven't looked to see how much hassle it is to replace motor and deal with purging the lines of air. Don't know if it's a big messy job installing another motor & purging, etc. and so I don't want to take a chance with a junkyard one & possibly have to do it again. And I'm sure a brand new one is probably pretty expensive. Anyone have any info on the procedure to change out motors for this system and/or if there's any place out there specializing in rebuilding them?
