as far as how i did it, it's been quite a while, but i believe i undid the passenger side cover on the underhood firewall and realized that wasn't going to help me. then i removed the motor on the exact opposite side, undid the cup that pops on the arm of the motor, and i believe i undid all of the wiper stuff - the covers, top nuts, etc all the way down so the nubs will pop down into the cowl channel. then i pulled the whole linkage through the spot where the motor was mounted.

see if this helps - http://www.iammike.org/htmods/montero_wiper.pdf


Yup, that's what I did as well recently. Before removing the wiper arms I marked where they fell on the windshield with blue painters tape so I could put them back on the shafts with at least an attempt at the proper location. My drivers-side shaft had bound up in the pivot, and the entire pivot was rotating in the hole in the cowling <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />

Interestingly enough, once I R&R'd the wipers and tightened down the mounting nuts that hold the pivot in place in the cowling, the lake that used to appear in the drivers-side foot well whenever it rained has disappeared entirely and the floor has been dry through the last couple of deluges <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
