The motor is relatively easy, if a little fiddly to replace.
It is held in place by 3 torx screws. These secure it to the winding mechanism. I think a 4th screw may hold it steady on a bracket.

Its a simply job of unscrewing these torx screws, pull the electrical connection off and lift the motor out. Theres not much room to do it in, but its easy enough.
