Dont think we have one on that specific job.

Scuttle and wipers off as per http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/index.php?topic=111517.0

Then remove linkages and motor, replace motor and refit.  Pic of mech in this guide http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/index.php?topic=117001.0

Evening guys... could someone please find me the "how to" link on replacing the front wiper motor? Just the motor is being changed not the arms/links ...
Regards..

Take clear pics before you remove the arms from the motor to be sure to reconnect them correctly ;)

They will do some interesting damage as they attempt to sweep past the scuttle. If they get that far.




If just replacing the motor, all you need to undo is the yellow nut for the linkage, and the three red bolts for the motor:





That photo also gives a pretty good idea how the linkage needs to be clocked to the motor.


While you have the wiper assembly off the car it is definitely worth giving the balljoints a squirt of lubricant
