recently the front windshield wipers of my 99 Subaru legacy outback does not work right. both of them sometimes can stuck in the middle.
after a thorough check, I supprisingly found out that the gear box between the windshield wipper motor and the linkage is cracked. so my theory is that some one (i.e. my wife) turned on the windshield wiper while they were frozen to to windshield and the force busted the gear box.
it seems like the piece belongs to the motor, I need to replace the all set. the repair shop want to chage 1.5 hour to replace the motor, but it seems not that hard even for me to do it myself. besides the linkage, there 3 bolts fix the motor to the body, plus some electrical wires.
can some one give a advice if this is as easy as it seems? if i want to do it myself, where can I get the procedure? any caveats?
thanks in advance.
