• Q: How to service the front wiper motor on 2007 Toyota Tacoma?

  A: Start your front wiper motor service by disconnecting the negative battery cable from the terminal. Cut off the head caps using a taped screwdriver on each wiper and remove front wiper arm LH through automatic stop following motor operation before extracting the nut and arm. Rephrase the actual steps to uncouple the second wiper arm from the right front position. Loosen all claws on the left side of the front fender to cowl side seal and perform the same steps on the right side. Unplug the 2 connectors and remove 15 claws from the exposed parts to take out the ventilation louver sub-assembly. Disconnect the connector and remove the 2 bolts to take out the windshield wiper motor and link assembly. Slide the wiper link assembly to the passenger side until the rubber pin no longer meshes before removal. To access the front wiper motor you need to disengage the rods through the crank arm pivot by pressing with a taped narrow screwdriver and unscrew both "Torx" T30 motor bolts. Put DENSO No. 50 grease on the crank arm pivot and fasten the wiper motor with 2 screws at 7.5 N.m (76 kgf.cm). Set the wiper motor assembly on top of the crank arm and push the pins into place before fixing the link assembly with 2 bolts at 5.5 N.m then reconnect the components. Insert the cowl ventilator louver parts by fitting all 15 claws plus 2 clips. Next position and click both front fender seals to cowl sides. To install the wiper arms front apply a file to remove metal powder from rod-shaped shapes and brush clean the wiper pivot surface. Tighten wiper arm nuts to 21 N.m torque (209 kgf.cm, 15 ft.lbf) when holding down the arm pivot area. Test operation of the front wipers using both water and washer fluid before you fasten the cable to the negative terminal of the battery at 3.9 N.m (40 kgf.cm, 35 in.lbf). Afterwards, connect the molded headcaps to the wiper arms using the claws.
