What is the Hardest Part to Remove on a Maverick

The wiper motor is easy to get out, once you pull the dash....

 

...which is easy once you pull the windshield.

 

Yeah so??? Who doesn't pull the windshield, out of my 3 cars, only one has glass....I must be doing something wrong...

 

Just don't drive your car in the rain...then you wont ever need it.

Last year i drove a total of two days in rain weather

 

Apparently, aiming.

 

You obviously have never lived in northern nevada! it could be sunny with a chance of snow showers in the middle of july (trust me seen it, with two poor bikers pulled off the road waiting for the snow to settle down enough to ride in)

Do you wear the WW1 pilots goggles and scarf when driving? LMAO!!!!

 

nope...southern california boy all my twenty years

 

Y'all had me skeert...I got the wiper motor replace in 1-1/2 hours start to finish. I even greased the pivot before putting linkage back on the motor.

 

Bravo!

Did you pull the heater/AC box?

 

ive replaced them without pulling the heater box.... but they're no doubt one of the most difficult parts to remove (without pulling the windshield and dash out)

 

I have good news. My wipers work.

 

I have never had to replace a wiper motor, considering im a considerablly amount slower at doing car tasks then most people on this board, it may take you guys a few hours it would take me a few days

 

My car has no wiper motor or wipers!!!! So no problem

 

Don't have A/C to worry about. I disconnected the negative cable on the battery, pulled the speedometer cable and wiring harness plug from the back of the instrument cluster, pulled the cluster out, package tray, radio bezel then loosen the 3 motor bolts that pass through the mount a couple of turns. Removed clip on the cam and linkage, unplugged the electrical connection from the motor and finished removing the 3 bolts with one hand while holding the weight of the motor in the other hand. To install…I reversed the above procedure…but pushed instead of pulling and connected instead of disconnecting. I read where the mount and defrost duct had to be removed but the duct is nowhere near the wiper motor and the mount doesn’t need to be pulled to swap out the motor. It does help to stop the wiper arms half way through their sweep to be able to get to the 3 bolts before disconnecting the battery.

 

Interesting. I don't remember removing the package tray, maybe I should have.
