Service Procedure

Tools Required

^ J 39232 Wiper Transmission Separator

^ J 39529 Wiper Transmission Installer

1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position and verify that the windshield wipers are in the PARK position. After verifying, turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.

Important:
The ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT windshield wiper transmissions have locators for properly positioning the wiper arms during assembly. The service replacement PASSENGER side transmission does NOT have the locator. Therefore, to assure correct positioning of the wiper arms during installation, you must mark the location of the passenger side wiper blade on the windshield before removal.

2. Using a marker or a piece of masking tape, mark the location of the passenger side wiper blade on the windshield. It is NOT necessary to mark the location of the driver's side blade.

3. Disconnect the washer hose from both wiper blades.

4. Remove the wiper arm nut cover from both wiper arms.

5. Remove the wiper arm retaining nuts.
