WIPER MOTOR INSTALL

Rain does not hurt a car.....It's no claim to fame.  In fact, rain can be good for a car.

Now I know why I've seen some cars with the grating cut out above the wiper motor.

Remove the hood. Preposition the wiper motor as close as you can to the linkage end. Push the wiper arms up to extend the linkage out through the motor opening in the firewall. Lay out from the front bumper across the engine, towards the wiper motor. I flop an old blanket across everything for comfort. You have to get comfortable enough to have both hands free. That's it. You are now working blind, by feel. Get familiar with the clip, and visualize what it needs to clip in place. Be the clip... na na na.

Donno, but you could pull string through the holes with coat hanger, and tie them to each pivot pin. Once you get the linkage in, take up slack to pull each pin through the hole. Tie the ends tight, once the pins are protruding, so they don't fall back down. Install the mounting plate. You will then need to tape one stud, as to keep it from dropping, as you remove the string from the other end. Take care in installing the hardware, by putting pressure on the side of the pin to hold as the nut is placed over the pivot pin. While quickly pinching with fingers the top, while quickly finger tightening the nut. Then work on the other end. It's the only method I would see that would work for just one person to do it alone.
