• Q: How to replace the windshield wiper motor assembly on 2006 Toyota 4Runner?

  A: Start by removing the front wiper arm head cap with a small screwdriver wrapped with tape on its tip. Apply the wiper to stop the windshield wiper motor assembly at automatic stop point before you remove first the nut and then the front wiper arm RH and finally the nut and then the front wiper arm LH. First separate the front fender to cowl side seal LH by removing its clip followed by releasing its 2 claws and repeat the same process for the front fender to cowl side seal RH. Begin by removing two clips on the cowl top ventilator louver sub-assembly before using a clip remover on six clips and extracting nine claws from the part. The wiper motor assembly can be removed after disconnecting the connector and taking out two bolts, allowing its sliding towards the passenger side where the rubber pin needs to unlock its meshed position. The first step to remove the windshield wiper motor assembly requires a screwdriver to break the meshing of 2 rods on the clank arm pivot followed by removing the 2 bolts. Each step of installing the new windshield wiper motor assembly begins with MP grease application to the clank arm pivot before subsequent procedures of bolt installation with a torque setting at 7.5 N.m (76 kgf.cm, 66 in.lbf). The windshield wiper motor & link assembly requires meshing the rubber pin followed by bolt installation at 2 bolt torques of 7 N.m (71 kgf.cm, 62 in.lbf) before connector reconnection. The front wiper arm LH needs to stop automatically before you file the serrated area, brush clean the pivot serrations then fasten it with a 25 N.m (255 kgf.cm, 18.4 ft.lbf) nut while maintaining pressure on the arm hinge. Follow the same installation process for the front wiper arm RH so the nut reaches 25 N.m (255 kgf.cm, 18.4 ft.lbf) after this part is secured and continue testing the operation by spraying water or washer fluid on the window while checking that the rear wiper maintains safe distance from the body.
