The dash pad has to come off. Once you have removed that, there are two plastic covers over access openings inside the windshield frame. When you remove those covers, you'll see the linkage is held together with radial retaining rings, which you can pull off with pliers. Then remove the parts at the pivots on the outside of the frame. You can then remove the motor with one part of the linkage. The rest of the linkage gets removed through the access openings. It can be a struggle. Be aware if you think you have a linkage problem, it might actually be a problem with the windshield frame. If possible, make sure there isn't too much flexing of the windshield frame with the wipers running. If they are iffy, you might be able to keep them running for this test by taking off 1 or both blades. I replaced the linkage on mine thinking it was worn out causing it to bind, then found out it was binding because the frame was flexing.

How do you change a 1982 dodge d150 wiper motor?
LMAO, you have one too? Are you certain the motor is bad? The linkage can come apart because of perished bushings. If the bushing fails, the motor will turn, but the wipers won't move. Check this before you buy a new motor that you can't return.To remove the motor, disconnect the power lead. Remove the three wiper motor mounting bolts. A gearwrench is the best tool to reach this tight spot. You may be able to pull the motor back enough to unfasten the crank. The crank is held by one nut. If you can't pull the motor back far enough and reach this nut, you will have to remove the upper cowl to reach the nut. To remove the cowl, remove the wiper arms. There's a retainer catch on the back side of the wiper arm that needs to be released as you pull up. You may need to use some PB blaster to free corrosion to get these loose. With the wiper arms off, remove the eight or so sheet metal screws. With the cowl removed you can reach the nut holding the crank. This is a good time to replace all of the wiper bushings, Doorman p/n 49440. These are plastic and on a 1982 they will be dry-rotted. These bushings will fail when it's raining and you're a long way from home, so replace them while you're replacing the motor. On mine, all four crumbled and fell apart.To remove them pry the joint apart. Remove the wiper linkage assembly and pivot posts as a unit. Make notes which side of each linkage arm receives the bushing. Each wiper pivot post has three mounting bolts. With the linkage out on the work bench, install bushings into the linkage arms using a socket for backup. Hammer them in until they latch into place. Once the bushings are installed in their holes, hammer the pivots into the bushing. These will also latch. Use a little bit of grease to ease the assembly. With all new bushings installed in the wiper linkage assembly, install the linkage assembly (all three links and the two posts) through the access holes starting on the passenger side. Slide it through into position and replace the three bolts at each wiper post. Fasten the linkage to the crank arm. Replace the cowl and install the wiper arms.

How do you remove wiper arm on 1982 Dodge pickup?
Assuming that you mean "wiper blade" (blade and frame) which are replaced often rather than "wiper arm" (piece from the spindle at the hood to the wiper blade) which are rarely ever replaced, the 1982 Dodge Pickup has the most common hook-end wiper arms. See sources and related links below for installation videos. Also, purchase the replacement blades first and there will be additional instructions/illustrations on the replacement packages. Locate and press the tab or button where the wiper blade is inserted into the hook of the wiper arm and pull wiper blade out of hook. You may have to rotate and flex the blade to make enough clearance for the hook to pass through.
What size windshield wipers for 1982 F150?
The 1982 Ford F-150 takes 18" wiper blades on both sides front. See sources and related links below for more information. Since there are over 22 different wiper arm attachments, do not buy wipers just by length only - be sure to lookup exact wiper blade part numbers by vehicle make, model and year for the brand wiper you decide to purchase. This ensures correct length AND correct attachment.
