Replace everything by using the opposite procedure.
How do you replace the water pump on a 1997 Ford Taurus 3.0L V6?
There are two models of the 3.0 they put in the 97 Taurus. A 3.0 OHV Vulcan and a 3.0 DOHC Duratec. In order to even gain access to the water pump you must first remove the accessories above it. IE alternator. It is an involved job. Plan at least 4 hours if you are new to mechanics. Then continue onto....
First loosen the 4 bolts on the pulley on the water pump, then remove the belt, tensioner and idler pulley. You will be able to get to all the bolts (some larger 10mm and some smaller 8mm) Install reverse of removal, not to hard to do just remember to drain the coolant. Not as easy to get to though.

How do you tighten the back wiper on 2000 Toyota 4Runner?
Specifically I'm trying to get the wiper to make more solid contact so it wipes the window completely. I've found some forums where other people have the same issue but I haven't found a decent answer, just a lot of useless comments. I suspect a new spring might do it, although it really has never worked very well even since I bought it when it was a year old.
1. Lubercate hinge on the arm
2. New Spring
3. New Wiper Blade

What size wiper blades for a 2011 Nissan Maxima?
The 2011 Nissan Maxima wiper blade sizes are 28" drivers and 17" passenger side wiper blades. Do not buy by length-only however. See Sources and Related Links below for more information. Since there are over 22 different wiper arm attachments - 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.
Why would your front wipers not work?
Most likely you will need to replace the wiper motor. If you can hear the motor when you turn the wipers on, then you will need to replace the wiper transmission. The wiper transmission is a link that attaches to the motor and the wiper arm. Both are located on the firewall usually under the cowl panel. (the panel between the hood and the windshield)
Where is windshield wiper control module for 2000 Saturn LS1?
That depends on what you're calling the "control module".
There is a switch that controls where the wiper blades "park". It's inside the wiper motor assembly. In fact, most of the controls, except the switch on the steering column, are inside the wiper motor.
What size for wiper blades for a 2003 ford f150 pickup?
The 2003 Ford F-Series F-150 Pickup takes 20" replacement windshield wiper blades. Note, when buying wipers be sure to always lookup your vehicle make, model and year in the application guide book at the store, or now-a-days you can Google 'lookup wiper size'.
You want to look this up because correct wiper fit is more than correct length, it's also proper attachment. Not all attachments fit all arms. Using the application guide or looking up wiper size online will avoid headaches of buying the right lengths with the wrong attachments.
Additionally, the installation process is simple. The replacement wiper blades will come with step-by-step, illustrated removal and installation instructions
The problem is in the on/off/delay switch. Its very common for this to happen. If you are mechanically minded, you can fix it your self. Usually where the switch rotates and makes contact to work the delay either gets dusty and no contact is made or the plastic body breaks off inside and the inner part just rotates with the outer part and the contact is never lost, so they stay on all the time. If this is an older car, just run a toggle switch to the dash from the wire that feeds the windshield motor. This will give you on or off options, no delay. If not mechanically capable, take it to a garage and they should be able to fix it.
How do you change the windshield wipers on a 2003 Honda CR-V?
Actually, I believe you mean the wiper rubber blade. It will state at the back of any good replacement blade on how to change it. Most dealers themselves would do it for you. Let us know if this helps.
Why do your wiper blades lift off of your windshield when you are driving?
This is called "windlift" and is usually more of a problem with conventional framed wiper blades. Bottom-line, its a result of the design of the wiper where airflow actually can get under the wiper and lift it rather than a design that uses the air to actually push the wiper down and create more contact.
If you are experiencing this on your vehicle, I recommend looking into the newer-style beam wiper blades that have aerodynamic designs that counteract windlift. Checkout the related links and you'll be fully schooled in the latest wiper blade technologies.
I use both Trico NeoForm Beam Blades and Trico Tech Beam Blades and have no problems with windlift and also enjoy the many other benefits to the new technologies.
Why would the wipers only work intermittently on a 1995 Pontiac Transport SP Minivan?
The front wipers on your 1995 Pontiac TranSport minivan are intermittent because there is a manufacturing defect in how a couple of connections were made (soldered) to a control board that is located in the motor assembly. I had the same problems with a 1996 TranSport and the fix took only minutes once the motor assembly was removed. Basically, it involves resoldering a couple of connections. Other than a few hand tools required to get the assembly out from under the hood, only a soldering iron and some solder are required.
There is a really good web site with a complete set of photos describing the fix once the box is out.

The wipers on my Transport got worse and worse until they finally quit altogether. Some have suggested replacing the control board but a healthy dose of solder will cure the problem.
What size replacement windshield wiper blades for Ford Expedition?

2000 Chevy venture windshield wiper hitting each other?
I had that problem too. Had to set the right wiper really low and the left one kinda high. You just have to play around with them til you get them in the right place. Move them, tighten them up some so that they don't fly off, then turn on your wipers, but be prepared to stop them quickly in case if the wipers are set wrong cuz than they will go off the sides. Hopes that helps.
What size wiper blades for a 2001 Toyota Avalon xls?
24" drivers side and 17" passenger side. Be sure to always lookup the exact part numbers for the brand of wipers you decide to purchase by asking the clerk, using the book, or by looking it up online. This not only ensures the correct lengths but also the correct attachments. FYI - there are over 22 wiper arm attachments out there - so its not only length you're buying but also attachment (no wiper blade is 100% universal). See related links below.

How do you change the windshield wiper blades on a 2008 Mazda tribute?
The 2008 Mazda Tribute has the newer style and more rare "pinch tab" wiper arms on the front and the newer style "snap claw" wiper arm attachment on the rear. 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 - note that not all wipers will fit on these special arms so be sure to reference the make, model and year of your vehicle for the brand wipers you choose to purchase. Pinch-tab compatible wipers and the correct rear wiper blade is a little bit trickier to find.
