Hey guys,

Ive searched but couldn't find anything, Im looking for instructions to replace driver side wiper motor, with rust the tip of the motor spindle/shaft snapped so the nut cannot thread back on securing the arm, see photo, anyone have or know how to replace the motor?

Discovery II - 2004 TD5

Thanks!

 

Remove that big nut on both sides, then remove the cowl on both sides, and then remove and replace the wiper motor. You'll see it when you pull the plastic cowling off.

Be careful not to break the cowling, it's old and brittle at this juncture.

 

Thanks so much Racer X!

 

You may want to look at replacing the whole wiper/linkage assembly. It will be easier and most likely cheaper.

 

You're right, I read right past that.

@dead_battery, keep the motor you have, you'll want to replace the wiper linkage assembly.

 

Thanks so much, I was hoping it would be possible to replace the broken part rather than the motor

 

Im on it! Thanks for the reply

 

Guys, i just called a 4x4 salvage yard and they said I need to replace everything including the motors? Surely this isn't correct?

 

I agree that you can't replace just the broken part. The part appears to be pressed into the linkage. Even if you could replace just the broken part, you need to pull the assembly anyway. It would be easier to replace the assembly.
