I've created a detailed how-to guide for the replacement of the wiper motor in 1997 - 2003 F-150's, Expeditions, & 2004 Heritage F-150 Models. (I've been told this repair is similar for many other Ford trucks and SUV's.) It is a step-by-step guide with many pictures. I created this while conducting the repair on my own truck, so I am confident it is accurate. I've benefited greatly from the online F-150 community and wanted to give something back! Here's the link to my write-up:

Moderators, please move this to the appropriate place as needed. Thanks!

Hallba, this was very helpful! I would only add- to easily remove the wiper blade without breaking anything, squirt some penetrating oil on the nut and use a flat ended punch to tap the bolt several times- the wiper blade slips right off. Also, if your blades freeze like mine did (does not happen often in Western Oregon), you may be able to just reconnect the ball joint in the linkage. Deanskl
