96 - 02 rear wiper motor replacement

amusement · 06-14-2008, 09:13 PM

It was an early afternoon when a mysterious dumb #$%$#! decided to rip off the back wiper arm in a 2002 4runner.

Now, it's my time to fix it. I have just purchased a rear wiper motor from Ebay. The price was reasonable.

Need your rear wiper motor swapping experience. Is there any special tools necessary to do the job? Any constructive advice?

u can just replace the arm - no need to take out the motor unless the bolt that sticks out of the "hole" is missing.

The stud was broken when the arm was removed.
