Edit to add: What Marten said.

If you remove the whole assembly there is only one bolt under the dash.

You will need to remove the big nuts, trim washers, and seals under the wiper arms themselves, then the one bolt under the dash. Then you have to fish it out around the bracket holding the cowl vent handle.


There is one bolt here holding the assembly to the cowl vent handle bracket.


Bolt location under dash, from passenger side.

Slightly ot but the standing on your head remark reminded me of my long gone friend ( the po of my coupe ) who lost both his legs in a train accident while working for CN . I would walk into his garage to find him crawling around the interior of the coupe with his artificial legs laying on the ground somewhere . He would just look at me and say " do you have any idea of how much easier this is " .
