I have a 1996 Saturn SC2 and I need to change motor on driver side but can not get the out side part of door off. how do you remove that portion of the door?

Just wanted to let everyone know, in order to change the window regulator on a 1996 saturn you do need to remove the exterior door which is connected by about ten lock screws around the inside of the door. you also need to remove the side view mirror and the door handle which has a little plug on the bottom right side that should come out with a pair of needle nose or something, then the handle should slight to the left and off. Pull the hole outer panel up and off and there you go. But you do still need to remove the inner door panel to put new nuts and bolts to hold the new regulator in because the orginals are held in buy rivets so you have to drill those out.
Hope that helps anyone.

Outside part of the door? Do you mean the exterior door, part of the body of the car? If this is for replacing the window regulator, I dont think you need to remove that.
It should consist of working your fingers under the bottom of the interior plastic door cover (with the window control, locks, etc) you will hear some popping when the keeper pins pull out of the door. Then you may have to reach up and disconnect the wiring harness for the mirrors, locks, and window. The panel should lift straight up, giving you access to the regulator. You may also need to unscrew the arm rest and door handle.
It's been a while since I have worked on my wife's Saturn.

Hope this helps,
