Can anyone advise me the best method to use to replace my wiper
motor? Removing the old motor was a snap, but inserting the new motor
(which has a ball that inserts into the socket of the wiper assembly)
is proving difficult.
There is only a small hole in the firewall to work through, and as the
wiper assembly is not stationary, I can't keep that side of the
connection lined up and steady to insert the motor. I removed the
plastic grate between the windshield and hood, hoping to find another
access hole, but there is none. Any help would be greatly
appreciated. Thank you! |

How about a helper to hold the wiper transmission in place while you line up
the motor, or duct tape or baling wire?

I paid my $10, for nothing. The only mention of a wiper motor
replacement procedure on Toyota's horribly designed site basically
tells me to just put the motor back in. No mention whatsoever of how,
and no illustrations. I've asked for my money back, and would advise
everyone against spending money to use this site. I'm no computer
idiot, either, and I know a bad web site when I see one. Too bad
Toyota can't program like they can build vehicles.

My understanding is that the site has electronic versions of the factory
repair manuals. The FRM's are written for dealership technicians and for
the most part assumes that if you got it out, you can get it back in.
Haynes manuals are written with the consumer in mind but may omit some
operations that few people would ever undertake.

Did you check this out at autozone.com ?

Seems that you pull the arm out enough and snap in the linkage then you
replave the motor. They say it should snap in place but you have to
exactally align with the ball before snapping them together. >> Stay informed about: Tacoma Windshield Wiper Motor Replacement |

I'd agree with you there, so Toyota should stop offering $10 one day
access to the general public. >> Stay informed about: Tacoma Windshield Wiper Motor Replacement |

I imagine there are cases in which that is true, but I would recommend
someone first buy a Chilton's guide. Mine seems much more complete
than anything Toyota had online, and their site's search engine is the
worst I have ever used. >> Stay informed about: Tacoma Windshield Wiper Motor Replacement |
