86 4-runner front wiper linkage

My wiper linkage bushing are wore out and the linkage fell off inside and I cant reach it . Do I have to go in from inside the cab and pull apart all the dash parts or do I go in from the wiper cowl and valance? Trying to figure out the best way to fish it out to put the new one in. I dont have a book right now so I figured this was the easiest way to figure it out. Thx

I think your going to have to go in through the cowl..I could be wrong though. Link to the factory service manual below.

So I searched through the whole online manual link that was posted and all it shows is the rear wiper linkage and wiper motor. It doesn't show the front linkage at all. I'm I missing something???? Can someone pls give me some insight?

I believe the linkage is only accessable below the window cowl. The cowl is really easy to take apart, mine was like 3 screws and two plastic rivet things, then take off the windshield wipers. I just had mine off yesterday and could see the window wiper linkage with fairly easy access. hope this helps
