• Q: How to replace the wiper motor on 2001 Chevrolet Malibu?

  A: Begin the wiper motor replacement by taking off both wiper arms plus the air inlet grille panel. Remove the wiper drive system module by first disconnecting the electrical connector from the wiper motor then taking out the three screws holding it to the vehicle. With the Wiper Transmission Separator (J 39232) disable the link between the wiper motor crank arm and the drive link before unscrewing the two frames to remove the wiper motor from its mounting slot. Place the wiper motor on the tube frame by hand then screw in its two screws and tighten them to 10 N.m (88 lb in). Insert the drive link onto the wiper motor crank arm using the Wiper Transmission Installer (J 39529). Insert the wiper drive system module with three screws at 10 N.m (88 lb in), and plug the electrical connector back to the wiper motor. After that complete the setup by putting back the wiper arms and the air inlet grille along with performing basic wiper operations.
