Seriously?
 
Doing the rear wiper mod. Got the interior hatch panel off..cake.

I have 2 problems...

1. On the outside, the wiper itself, i removed the little cover, and taken off the 10mm hexnut.... and the wiper wont come off. I mean, it WONT COME OFF. the front wiper blades were a cinch when i removed them. The rear wont effing budge. i put as much force into it as i thought it would handle without breaking something. So thats pissing me off

2. Interior, the electrical white plastic plug that goes into the black housing on the wiper motor. how the eff do you get it out? I see how the clip is holding it in...but cant wedge anything in to pry it out, or even find a place to pull on the plug (Honda's awesome placement of the plug makes is sooo easy :rolleyes:)

Basically, what should be 2 easy things are killng me. Ive searched, the only diy's with pics or competent instructions are for the GD, which is different from the GE motor assembly... dont tell me its not lol. namely this thread, and this thread.

Its late...im sweaty... and there is blood on my car now (dont ask)
Ill post pics up tomorrow if no one understands my babbling.
Ive managed to turn the easiest DIY in the world into a total pain in the ass. ..help :(

For the wipers I had the same problem. All I did was pulled it really hard and it eventually came off. Simple but hard to do. and as for the electric part.. You need to press the small rectangular hole and at the same time pulling it. I did it with the elp of my brother. idk if that helps or not but yeh sorry i have no pics. Just did this 2 days ago too! I had the same 2 problems haha! Goodluck tho!

Use a wiper puller like below, makes it easy to remove. Major Auto Parts stores (Advance, Kragen, Autozone, etc.) usually have free loaners available.

You don't have to remove the wiper. You can do it with the motor and wiper still in the car.

wiggle the arm side to side, and it will break loose. It took me a good 5 minutes to get the ARM off when I did it.

As for the plug, I honestly can't remember, sorry.

GOT IT.

Thanks for the help guys, i finally got the wiper off... I was tugging and pulling and twisting and was about to give up when it finally just....fell off. Seriously, i let go and it fell off lol

I ended up leaving the plug in -__- and took the brace plate off and moved the gear arm. The rest of this was completely easy. Even figuring out how to reposition the wiper... all i had to do was line it up with the dust from where the oem positioning leaves a line. Got it first try. Thanks again everyone.
muh car is jdm now yo
