Wipers died on me today

[Tbolt]

Motor tested bad.

I am going to try and replace it myself.

For those of you that say its an easy 15 minute job, please give me some more tips.

Also, what tools are involved? I will have a friend with small hands and mine are fairly small and nimble so that should help.

pictures would be great

a couple wrenches. 10mm, 13mm? Undo the linkage and the mounting bolts, unplug it. Take the plastic cover off! That's what makes it easy, the motor won't come out with the cover on. Put the cover back on when the motor is already in as well. Cycle the motor, bolt the linkage back up.. done. :)

This is the guide I used:

This is NOT an EASY 15 minute job. Experts will take 15 minutes to remove the assembly. Dumb "certified" mechanics will take 1hr +... and I am not kidding.

Plus the time to reinstal everything.
