Removing wiper motor from the wiper arms.

Alright, I removed the wiper arms and everything. The only thing left is two little yellow balls that are still conncected, preventing me taking the motor out. How do I get the motor disconnected from these?

Stick a screwdriver between the rods and the motor, then twist to pry them off.

Right after I posted this they came right off.

And remember to grease them and 'pop' them back on properly when putting them back. Otherwise you'll end up like I did, and having to remove everything again !!.....

I pulled as hard as I can, and then used a battery post puller to get it out, and it wouldn't budge at all; how'd you do it?

I know something as simple as this, and it creates such a problem. It created a lot of problems, I got the pass. side off without a problem, but the drivers side was a pain. I sprayed it with WD-40, Lifted the arms, so they did not rest on the windshield, and tried to twist them and they popped off.

Hmmm I didn't think of lifting the arms up and twisting; I'll be sure to try that next time I get a chance to work on the wipers.

Yah it might work. Thats the only way I got it off. Some WD-40 might help too.
