Removing the wiper motor

Post by **Sidney'61** » Sat May 30, 2009 10:04 pm

Hi,
I'm just doing little cosmetic jobs to keep me sane between revision. Todays was tidying/repainting the fuel pump, next job is the wiper motor.
But how do I take it out?

Is it just held in by those tiny, impossible to get to bolts on the underside? Is there a technique to doing it?

Hello Andy,

yes it is and I find that a small 1\4" drive socket set very handy for those inaccessible places. You also need to remove the cover to disconnect the inner rack cable (mark the dome relative to the body to keep the park position correct) and then undo the large nut that secures the rack tube to the wiper motor.

Brilliant, thank you Alec.

And don't drop the little nuts - hard to find again.
