windshield wiper motor replacement

[timninja]

I cant figure this puzzle out,ive got the main heater core panel out,ive got the motor loose,I cant get the outputs below the valance to pull the damn motor out,i hope this makes sense !
Thanks allot,tim

[timninja]

By motor I mean linkage +motor btw

[agile30]

What do you mean by outputs? The part that grabs the linkage?

[timninja]

Where the wiper arms mount,spindles might be the right word

[timninja]

The peices that mount with the 13mm and c-clips

[agile30]

Is the linkage bad? Why not just remove the motor. That's the easiest thing to do.

[timninja]

I cant get to the last 10mm bolt,because the smaller arm won't cycle out of its way

[timninja]

Well actually all the joint bushings are bad too.

You need to remove the blower motor cover, the blower motor, and then the remaining blower motor housing if you want to pull the entire linkage.

[nando]

you have to pull the cover off. the motor actually comes out pretty easy.

the linkage comes out easy too if you remove the intake manifold.

[timninja]

The motor pops out after I remove the 4 10mm bolts right?

[nando]

yeah I think 3 bolts to the wiper frame and 1 bolt to the linkage arm.

The worse job on an E30 I think and that's after the crap I've done with the cabrio.

timninja, if your linkage is all bad, I just finished gaining access to that on a car I'm parting out. Let me know if you need it.

It was really easy with the intake manifold out of the way. taking out the heater box to get to it was much more time consuming than actually getting the linkage in and out.
