Service of the wiper mounting arm and pivot shaft assembly starts by taking off the cowl panel grille. Professionalism demands that workers avoid separating the
Wiper Motor linkage arm from the wiper motor assembly because detachment leads to incorrect wiper arm parking positions and subsequent damage. You should next turn and position the wiper mounting arm and wiper pivot shaft assembly according to indicated specifications before you remove the three securing bolts. The wiper mounting arm and pivot shaft assembly can be removed from the vehicle after disconnecting the electrical connector to unfasten the wire harness pin-type retainer. When installing either new wiper mounting arm and pivot shaft assembly or new wiper motor ensure that the wiper motor linkage arm and pivot shaft assembly matches the original positions. The new assembly should be positioned while reconnecting the electrical connector and attaching the wire harness pin-type retainer. Secure the three bolts after tightening them to 8 Nm (71 lb-in). After positioning the wiper motor at PARK cycle the final step is to install the cowl panel grille.
