Default Need help with wiper motor replacement

Just got me a new wiper motor and proceeded to remove the old. Got the bolts out, but there's something else holding. Any idea how to take this motor off?

Did you disconnect it from the arm inside the cowl?

Ah, let me give that a go. Is it tricky to disconnect?

Not tricky at all, the arm is held in place at the wiper motor with a clip.
Look inside the cowl area where the wiper motor comes through the firewall and you'll see the clip on the metal arm that goes to the wiper motor.
Whatever you do DO NOT lose the clip

Default Wiper motor clip

Hey you guys sorry to bother you about this but how were you able to see the wiper motor clip I'm having trouble finding it and also what did you use to get it off ?

Remove the cowl cover and you'll see it inside on the wiper arm. You may have to rotate the wiper arm so that the clip it's easy to remove.
