Wiper motor Replace

[POPO'01]

So i Have an '01 Vic.. The Wiper blades lock straight up when i shut them off, which is a problem while im driving... I read in a diff forum that all i need to do is replace the motor. Is this an easy job or complicated??

I'm in the middle of that job, turns out the wiper motor transmission - an aluminum cam and plastic assembly is broken. I cannot find out how to remove it and the motor is impossible to drag out of the tiny location it is crammed in.

my cd for this says to remove the purge canister , then the pivot arm then the motor. good luck

So basically take the wiper arms off and remove the inserts covering the vents. All u have to do is pop off the plasic covering and remove the thrtee bolts and it comes right out.. 20 min job hope it helps
