Ok I know this has been posted a few times but I need help. Im in the middle of removing my rear wiper and ive taken off the inner plastic linning in the trunk to take off the motor. I unscrewed all the motor bolts. I also took off the wiper arm itelse. Now all that remains is a brass looking bolt sticking through the glass with a brass looking nut around it, and its holding the motor (dangling) in place. I can't figure out how to take off the rest.... HELP ME PLEASE!!!

 

get a 18mm or 19mm socket or wrench and loosen the nut on the outside of it....then it should slide off and everythign will come apart/off

 

When I try turning that nut, the whole motor below turns too, and it seems like nothing is happening, even when holding the motor to prevent it from turning so I can actually loosen the nut.....

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD SOMEONE HELP ME.....

 

PLEASE

 

Have you checked http://www.sandmracing.com ?

 

Yes they dont talk about the bolt....

 

where are you in relation to this picture?

 

say this slowly... I BE TODD DID.

D

 

I WAS stuck exactly at that ponit in the pic. But I got it off, it just took my friend to hold the motor and me to turn the wrench in opposite directions, DAMN that was a bitch. THANK YOU EVERYONE WHO TRIED TO HELP! Thanks, Jason.

 

heh, we undid the nut before unbolting the motor, so no problems were encountered....glad you got it figured out! have fun getting the hatch lining back in

 

How much weight do you figure you're going to save by removing it?

 

the motor is about 2-3 lbs.

I guess it's not really worth taking it out to save like 4-5 lbs. (including wiper and stuff).
Thanks

 

Yeah, but it look better

 

But if you remove the motor on the front wipers as well then you will remove over 10 lbs. and that will give you the ultimate "cleaner" look eh?

 

 

car looks much better without it, you don't have to worry about it flying up at speed, visibility is improved to the rear a bit, and you free up a switch and motor that you could turn into an oil slick Just lay down some RainX and you'll never miss it.

 

i thought that there was a rumor going around about rainX causing hazing on the glass. is there any truth to this?

 

see, i told you how to do it.....took me no effort at all when i did it, i had the wiper motor still bolted on though

 

I had my front wiper blades and arms off for the expo, and it really looked much better...
I hate wiper arms...

 

what do you guys use to cover up the hole after the wiper and motor are off? I was thinking about it but wanted to make sure I have somthing to cover the hole after.

 

Talk to mike k. Hese got the plug part #'s.

 

i got the plug and nut and bolt from Mike K...it was like $22 shipped or something and they are parts from a Civic CX

 

I sent Mike K and e-mail, waiting for his response. Thanks
