Instructions:
1. Open the hood of the car.
2. Locate the cowl grill, which is a black plastic panel that covers the area below the windshield. It is made up of two halves, one on the driver's side and the other on the passenger's side. Pry it off by gently lifting on one end with a flathead screwdriver. (The passenger's side does not come completely off.)
3. On the driver's side, locate the air intake assembly, a round black part with ribbed ridges. Unbolt it from the bracket using the 13 mm socket wrench and ratchet.
4. Slide the air intake assembly away from the bracket.
5. Locate the wiper motor, which is a cylindrical part with a black plastic cover. It is located on the passenger's side of the car, just below the cowl grill.
6. Remove the black rubber cover of the wiper motor using a flathead screwdriver.
7. Use the 10 mm socket wrench and an extension bar to loosen and remove the three screws attaching the wiper motor to the bracket.
8. Hold onto the wiper arms to ensure they do not come loose as you remove the wiper motor. Pull the wiper motor assembly out of the firewall carefully.
9. Remove the electrical connector.
10. Install the new wiper motor in reverse order of removal, making sure to connect the electrical connector.
11. Attach the air intake assembly and cowl grill.
12. Replace the cowl grill.
13. Check that the wiper motor is working correctly.
