I did that about 5 years ago and it was a farily easy job.
1. Remove the screws under the bottom cushion of the back seat. They should be just under the edge of the seat.
2. Once the seat is out you will see the motor. Loosen the lines a little bit but not too much. Just enough to make it easy to pull them off once the motor is out.
3. You will have to pry it out as the motor is mounted with fitted bushings. There may be some bolts but cannot recall. I just remember it was easy to pull out the motor with a thick flat head screw driver. Be careful not to damage the mounts or the floor to much.
4. I did not bleed the lines. It was a mess but I wasn't prepared. Have some rags or something to cover/plug the lines as you undo them. Be careful not to tilt the motor too much as the oil will spill out all over the place.
5. I used mineral oil from Wal Mart to fill up the new motor, 5 years later the top works great but the rest of the car has all kinds of problems! Just check around to see if you should something other mineral oil. Putting the motor back in is just the reverse.
I assume you've ruled out electrical problems already.
