How to remove and replace rear wiper motor 1998 ford explorer?

Answer 1

# Remove # Take off the wiper arm. # Remove the plastic cover at the base of the rear wiper assembly (arm+wiper blade) to expose the single nut holding the wiper assembly onto the motor. # Remove the nut, then remove the wiper assembly. # Remove the rubber boot surrounding the wiper attachment. ## Open the tailgate and remove the plastic strap that allows you to close the tailgate from inside the car (two screws) ## Pry off the two plastic covers on the top of the trim near the glass. When you remove the smaller one, a screw will appear ... remove that screw. ## Now start pulling the trim away from the door, starting at the top. It is held to the frame via pressure clips. You'll notice that the bottom half of the trim will release as you start angling the top half away from the frame (no pressure clips at the bottom). # Now remove the interior trim on the tailgate: # From here it's pretty easy... # Disconnect the motor being careful NOT to damage the plastic connector. (prying apart works well by rotating a small flathead screwdriver) # Remove the metal bracket by take the three screws out of the frame. # Take the motor off the metal bracket (two screws) and swap motors. # Go to local pre-school and find a baby, then beat it. Reverse the process to put it back together.
