Wiper Linkage, Front

Begin the replacement process on the front wiper linkage and motor by using a screwdriver to remove the front wiper arm LH cap following the step of taping the screwdriver tip first and later removing the nut and wiper arm. Repeat this procedure for the front wiper arm RH. The same steps need to be executed on the front wiper arm which is located on the right-hand side. The cowl top ventilator louver requires 6 clip removal followed by 8 screw uninstallation using a clip remover tool. Unfasten the hood to cowl top seal which is attached to the cowl top ventilator louver. Following the removal of the 4 windshield wiper motor bolts the wiper motor can be extracted while its link is disconnected from the wiper arm. Remove the 6 bolts from the windshield wiper link then extract it through the service hole. Remove the nozzle from each side by disconnecting the washer hose followed by using a screwdriver. Start your installation by inserting the washer nozzle sub-assembly and afterward insert the windshield wiper link through the service hole followed by torquing the 6 bolts to 5.5 N.m (56 kgf.cm, 49 in.lbf). Cowl panel and wiper link claw alignment is necessary before torquing the 4 bolts to 5.5 N.m (56 kgf.cm, 49 in.lbf) while reattaching the connector. Begin with placing the hood to cowl top seal onto the cowl top ventilator louver before securing the louver with the provided 8 screws and 6 clips. First operate the wiper once then turn off the wiper switch before installing the wiper arms while tightening the nuts by hand to positions of 25.4 mm (1.000 in) and 40.0 mm (1.574 in) and make sure the blades stay within the designated boundary of the ceramic edge. The 2 nuts should receive torque of 20 N.m (205 kgf.cm, 15 ft.lbf) for installation of the 2 caps.
