Hello,

Replacing the wiper motor is not terribly difficult. Then again it all depends on your comfort level.

For replacing the motor, these basic procedures needs to be followed:

Remove the cowl and any covers over the wiper motor and transmission assembly.
Remove the plug harness to the motor and disconnect the wiper transmission arm from the wiper motor.
Remove the bolts holding the motor and transmission assembly to the body of the car.
Install the new motor. The plug harness is usually keyed so it can only be inserted in one direction. If not, the proper polarity must be observed. Bolt the motor to the car body.
Cycle the motor several times by turning it on and off to establish the park position, then re-attach the linkage transmission assembly to the wiper motor.
Install all covers, cowling, and so forth and test operation of the motor on a wetted glass only.

I have attached basic instructions of wiper motor replacement.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you.
