Wiper Motor remove: 56

Wiper motor remove

I need to pull the wiper motor on my 56, the manual I ordered has not yet arrived; Do I need to unhook anything under the dash on the inside? Or will the bolts on the firewall get it?

Thanks! The rain is coming!

PS If I order the rebuilt 12V from mid50, does the switchback relay come with it?

i ordered and replaced the vaccumm with the electric wiper motor, and glad I did. Make sure that you get the electric motor for a a56 not a 55 or other model they wont fit. The only wires you need to run is the powere and the ground. it comes with the relay. i hope that helps

You'll need to disconnect the wiper transmission arms from the motor under the dash. Just remove one nut and take the "bent" bar off the wiper motor shaft.
