Bikini Top: wiper mount question

[NYC Bronco]

So I'm installing my top and I ran into an issue. When installing the Wiper Motor lowering bracket...how do I disconnect the Wiper Scissor arm from the motor. Is it just my rusted bolt that has to get loose or is there a clip?

Seems like the process would be as follows:

remove the bolt connecting the scissor arms to the wiper motor spindle.
remove the three bolts that attach the motor to the mounting bracket
flip motor over
remove bolts that attach mounting bracket to windshield frame
Bolt on new lowering bracket
bolt flipped over motor to new lowered bracket
attach bolt that connects scissor arms to motor spindle

Am I missing anything?


full disclosure: I actually have the top on because you know, its summer and I the motor is poking up, I want to get this right and not damage the top

Should be as simple as removing the nut on the arm and then flipping the arm 180 degrees.
If I remember correctly that is.

flipping the arm? I thought you simply flipped the motor

 

[cs_88]

You have to flip the arm as well 180.

Thats the part I'm having trouble with mentally. The instructions from TBP don't really give details on that. I get that the motor now running another direction, how does one flip over the scissor arms?

You don't do anything with the scissor arms just the arm coming off the motor itself.
That arm needs to be flipped 180.

What he said,you don't mess with the scissor part, just undo the nut on the motor, rotate the motor and reconnect the arm 180 degrees.

The motor is always going to turn the same way. Park is always park. By flipping the motor it basically starts 180* from where it normally starts. Pretty simple once you see it.
