Rear wiper motor

[shmukster]

The mounting stud on the rear wiper motor on my grandson's 2000 4runner is broken off. I bought a new wiper arm and blade, and a used wiper motor. Looking for a link to the service manual for that vehicle to see just how to go about getting at the wiper motor from the inside. I started to access it, got as far as removing the trim panel and large sheet metal plate but didn't know how best to access the window mechanism so I could get at the wiper motor mounting bolts. Would love to see what the service manual has to say about this!

I just did a wiper motor in a Sequoia and had to jockey the glass up and down and remove the arms from the glass to get to gain access to all the motor assembly bolts. I doubt the service manual even discusses this, but with some noodling, it became obvious.
