After unplugging the microwave, removed four screws from underneath the front of the microwave, and lowered the panel enough to disconnect the power connector. Then, pulled off the clips providing power to the Turntable Motor. Removed panel entirely to access Turntable Motor. Unscrewed both screws holding motor in place, removed old motor, replaced new motor (realigning the turntable plastic part), reconnected everything in reverse. 10 minutes and done.
