Wiper/wiper motor Removal With Pics!! I thought this may help some people to remove their wipers and wiper motor assembly. Its worth about 10-15lbs I would say.
Tools used: needle nose pliers, 10mm wrench, 10mm socket and ratchet and 13mm wrench.
1) Remove the rubber "gasket" that runs along the plastic pieces towards the back of your engine bay. It all just pulls up.
2) Remove the wipers, there is a piece that hinges back at the base of the wipers and under it is a 13mm nut, remove the nut and pull the wiper up and off. Mine was on there pretty good so I sprayed it with some lubricant first.
3) remove all the plastic clips holding the plastic "cowl" down and remove both pieces starting with the driver side. There is the tubing for the wiper fluid attached to them so pull it off as you remove the cowl. Also there is a little "hook" towards the side mirrors you have to work around, no big deal just dont pull and break anything it should come off easy.
4) Now thats thats done you can start seeing what your after, there are 5 10mm bolts and 1 10mm nut in total. Remove the 2 bolts on the driver side and the nut, the nut is inside the opening you cant see you need a 10mm wrench for this. Then there is 3 10mm bolts in the middle just remove these as well.
5) one its all unbolted its just a matter of pulling the motor forward a bit and start removing all the bars that attach everything. The bars are held on by little joints they just pop off each other. Once everything is loose pull the bars out toward the center and the motor out on the drivers side. After everything is out you should be done. Just put all the plastic parts back on and your ready to go!

On a side not be really careful removing the poppers that hold the plastic cowling down. I managed to break the windshield on my 93 trying to pull one out with pliers.
I'm thinking about removing the middle one on my 93 for clearance issues. If I get caught in the rain I'm not going to be driving quickly any ways.
