Wiper Assembly

[cganne]

Removed firewall, removed blower motor...does the complete wiper assembly come out in one piece or do you have to take it apart before you can get it out?

On the drivers side take a screwdriver or something long and disconnect the arms from the pivot. This will allow you to move the linkage around to get it out. Do the same to get it back in. Reconnect the 2 arms on the drivers side pivot after it's already in.

First time I did it it took over an hour now I can take it out in less then 30 minutes

Pivot point by the motor or ends? Just stick the screw driver in and pry or is there a trick?

If you take the vent off on the drivers side and look down in there you can see the 2 links that connect to the drivers side pivot. Take a screwdriver and a hammer and tap straight down to pop them off the linkage.

Once those 2 are off you will be able to move the pivot by the heater box to move it around to get it over the heater box. Once that's over it will be come out.

SHIT! so that's how you do it..man...I've removed 3 of them already and all were parts cars but had to butch the pivit opening on the body to get it out. Now I know how the tech's used to replace them...thank you for the tip.
