Servicing the wiper motor linkage typically requires gaining access to the wiper pivot arms and the cowl panel grille, which are removed so the electrical connector can be disconnected and the three bolts that secure the wiper mounting arm and pivot shaft assembly can be taken out; once the work is complete, reassembly is generally carried out in reverse. Bolts are typically tightened to 8 Nm (71 lb-in), and the pivot arms are adjusted as required, with some cases needing additional alignment depending on the vehicle and linkage condition.
