Windshield wipers

Now that I had the dash out, it was time to remove the windshield wiper components.  Actually, I had a little difficulty trying to figure out how to get the wiper arms off, but the rest was straight forward.  The trick with the wiper arms is a small locking tab located on the bottom of the arm that locks the arm to the splined drive pinion.  Its virtually impossible to see without a mirror.  If you pull the tab back, the arms should come off with some persuasion.  Once off, you can remove the large nuts that hold the drive pinion covers on and remove the wiper motor from the interior side.

Removing the drive pinion nuts will allow you to pull the wiper drive shafts through the bottom. 
Once the drive pinion nuts are removed, the wiper motor and linkage assembly is only held in by two bolts directly behind the motor.
