lvsarge Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Hey all. I've been prepping my engine bay for paint (79 brat), and I'm attempting to remove the wiper motor but I can't seem to get it off the arm. I'll admit I'm being rather delicate with it, as I don't want to break the plastic in there and then not be able to find a replacement, but can someone kind of walk me through how you get it off the mechanical arm under the leaf guard area? I appreciate any assistance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lvsarge Posted August 25, 2014 Author Share Posted August 25, 2014 Well, I found this post: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/129949-wiper-post-problem/ And I'm going to try the socket method listed there, else just continuing to be careful. I'll post back my results. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lvsarge Posted August 30, 2014 Author Share Posted August 30, 2014 Soooo... I used a 12 point 11/16 socket. Got it off, but it did crack two of the tabs in the process. I haven't tried to hook it back up yet, so I don't know how well or if it will fit... Guess it's a good thing I live in a desert with about .001" of total rainfall annually. Anyway just finished painting the engine bay. I'll post pics in my other build thread when I get it all put back together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ITBandit Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Ugh, still have nightmares of those clips :/ Like I said the 21" socket seemed to get those clips off best. But overall that plastic is super brittle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
