Trouble removing wiper motor

[325inewbie]

Hi Guys,

I'm in desperate need of some help here. I've removed the wiper blades, fresh air blower, the little plastic things that comes up by removing the four clips, the top nuts, and the mounting bracket bolt. I have the whole deal loose, but now I just can't seem to get the damn thing off. I've spent about 45 minutes wiggling and just don't see how it can be done. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks!

You have to go in through the engine bay. Its one stupid thing that requires alot of work. Major PITA. I believe this is the ony way to access certain parts that hold the motor in.

I did the above steps in the engine bay by taking off the cover on the upper firewall. I just can't seem to get the motor out. There may be something else I need to remove. I followed all the steps in the Bentley manual, but it just seems like I need to remove something else...

I got it out, but it required doing some pretty unconventional stuff. There has got to be an easier way, but I don't know what it is.
