• Q: How to install the front wiper motor on 2009 Toyota Tacoma?

  A: Start with front wiper motor installation by putting DENSO No. 50 grease on the crank arm pivot of the windshield wiper motor assembly. Fix the windshield wiper motor assembly with two "Torx" T30 screws at 7.5 Nm torque (76 kgf-cm, 66 inch-pound). Afterward, clip the 2 rods onto the crank arm pivot slot. Put the wiper motor assembly on the driver side then position the rubber pin with the body. Next attach the windshield wiper link assembly with 2 bolts tightened at 5.5 Nm and join the wiring connector. Deploy the 15 claws and place the cowl top ventilator louver sub-assembly before clipping it in place twice. Continue by performing these steps on the remaining side then pushing both 2 claws to fix the front fender to cowl side seal LH. Scrape metal powder from the front wiper arm RH serratons with a round file then brush its wiper pivot area clean before stopping the wiper motor at the automatic position to safely install the arm with its nut tight at 21 Nm (209 kgf-cm, 15 ft-lbf). Clean the front wiper arm LH just like you did with the other wiper arms then fasten it with the nut which you tighten to 21 Nm (209 kgf-cm, 15 ft-lbf) before verifying that both wipers work correctly when spraying water or washer fluid onto the windshield. You should use the claw tool to fit both front wiper arm head caps while connecting the cable to the battery's negative terminal and tightening it to 3.9 Nm.
