  A: Before opening the front wiper motor you need to disconnect the cable from the battery negative terminal. Use a taped screwdriver to open front wiper arm head caps. After positioning the wiper at its automatic stop, take out the wiper arm LH nut and then repeat this procedure on the right side. Simply repeat these actions for the right hand side front wiper arm. Unplug the fender seal from both sides by opening the two claws. Unclip and remove 2 fasteners as well as 15 claws to access the truck wiper motor assembly. Also disconnect its connection and uninstall two screws to remove the hood vent module fully. To remove the front wiper motor you must disconnect the 2 rods from the crank arm using a taped screwdriver and then take out the 2 "Torx" T30 bolts with a proper socket tool. Append DENSO No. 50 grease to the crank arm pivot before using 2 screws to put in the windshield wiper motor assembly and tighten its bolts to 7.5 N.m. Slide the wiper unit right and slide on the rubber pin. Attach the wiper link assembly with 2 bolts while you tighten them to 5.5 N.m (56 kgf.cm, 49 in.lbf) and then connect the connector.

Use a wire brush to clean the wiper pivot serration before installing the front wiper arm RH and LH with their proper nuts that must turn to 21 N.m while pushing down on each arm hinge. Test the front wipers using fluid to see if they touch the pillar before tightening the wiper cable to the battery terminal with 3.9 N.m force.
