• Q: How to install the front wiper motor on 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser?

  A: Insert the front wiper motor into its position and fasten it using a "Torx" socket wrench T30 to achieve a torque of 7.5 Nm (76 kgf-cm, 66 in-lbf) with the two bolts. Add a new application of Denso No. 50 grease to the crank arm pivot after which you should install the rod onto the pivot before repeating the lubrication process. The installation requires sliding the wiper link for pin engagement then adding the connector while torquing bolt A, bolt B, and 3 bolts C to 7.0 Nm (71 kgf-cm, 61 in-lbf). First, mount the left cowl ventilator louver with five clips then use seven claws for installation before adding three clips and one claw for the right side louver then attach the hood to cowl top seal with one clip. After clipping seven pieces to the cowl top ventilator louver sub-assembly you should insert four claws to fasten the front fender side panel upper LH followed by attaching its mirrored counterpart on the RH side. Use the provided procedure for installing the antenna ornament while following the correct process for inserting the roof antenna pole sub-assembly. The front wiper arm and blade assembly LH installation requires metal powder scraping from the wiper arm serrated side followed by cleaning the wiper pivot serrations and operating the wiper during which the motor stops in automatic mode before aligning the blade tip with windshield marks and tightening the nut to 25 Nm (255 kgf-cm, 18 ft-lbf). You must perform identical operations on the front wiper arm and blade assembly RH (center side) and the RH assembly. Scrape the metal powder from the serrated area then clean the wiper pivot serrations while operating the blade unit by aligning them to specified torque settings. To finish the installation you should first position the claw and bolt on the 3 front wiper arm covers followed by cable attachment to the negative battery terminal with 3.9 Nm (40 kgf-cm, 35 in-lbf).
