Instructions:
- Disconnect the negative battery cable to prevent accidental wiper activation.
- Move wiper arms to the park position, mark blade locations relative to the windshield, then remove the wiper arm retaining nuts and pull the arms off the splines (use a puller if necessary).
- Remove the cowl panel or access cover to expose the wiper motor and linkage by removing screws and retaining clips.
- Note or mark the current orientation of the linkage and motor output shaft to preserve correct park position.
- Disconnect the linkage from the motor output shaft by removing the retaining clip or nut; unbolt the motor if needed for access.
- Remove the old transmission arms from the linkage assembly and inspect bushings and fasteners; replace any worn components.
- Install the new transmission arms in the same orientation, securing them to the motor shaft and linkage with the original hardware or supplied fasteners.
- Reinstall the motor (if removed), reattach the cowl panel, then reinstall the wiper arms to the marked positions and tighten the retaining nuts.
- Reconnect the battery and cycle the wipers to verify proper sweep and park. Make minor arm position adjustments if necessary to ensure full blade travel without interference.
- Final check: tighten all hardware to spec, confirm there is no binding, and ensure blades rest in the correct park position.
