914World.com _ 914World Garage _ How to remove wiper assembly

Posted by: Ed Evans Apr 20 2020, 09:05 PM

What's the procedure to remove the wiper assembly / linkage / transmission?

I've removed the wipers and the washers on the top side of the cowl. I can get both wiper posts to dip a bit if I push on em from the top.

I've also removed the nut inside the dash that holds the flexy-post thing.

And...the thing won't budge. Well, not much anyway.

Is there more to remove first?

Cheers,

Did you remove the gas tank and the fresh air box first? It doesn’t come out without those removed...

Yes, everything else is out of the way. The wiper assembly is actually the very last thing to remove under the cowl.

Pull motor towards front until stud that goes inside comes free.
Then twist down and out.

Or, cut front of car off, it comes out much easier

Ditto. You have to get the rubber bumper inside the trunk.
