Expert: Dennis W - 10/23/2007


Question
Im trying to replace a wiper motor and cannot access the wiper arms under the cowl... How can I remove it?

Answer
There is an access cover just below the RH wiper pivot, remove this cover to disconnect the linkage. First put the wiper arms in the straight up posiiton, this will put the linkage in the right position. You also need to remove the RH wiper arm and pivot from the LH pivot and remove both from the wiper motor, then remove the motor.
