It is very straightforward to change out the wiper motor and little gearbox. Comes all in one. You first need to to mark where the stop position is with tape on the windshield so you can line up the wiper in the correct stop/swing position when placing them back on the splinned spindle. The wiper swing arms/ linkage, motor all comes out in one assembly (4 bolts) so you can change out the trans and motor and lithium grease all the moving parts on the bench.
Important note... If you run the wiper motor with the blades off the hubs to see if the lubrication has increased or improved the motor speed you MUST first run the motor to the full normal stop position Before putting the arms back on. That will insure proper operation when done.
One important note... after installing the new motor I noticed on the malfunctioning original factory transmission that there was a small weep hole that will give you access to spray in some lithium grease inside the little gearbox. I will have to try that and hook to a battery and see if I can get it rolling again. To get to it you need to remove the whole assembly turning it over will reveal a small square hole that was facing forward and down when bolted in. Tuning it over will allow the spray tube in there to give it the lubrication it likely needs as my 02 only has 106 k miles and the motor was stopped. The 01 is slow now and smelled the motor getting hot last Friday on the way in. I will be into that one next weekend to try and grease the gears. See if that works for awhile.
