Remove wiper arms.
Remove the 4 self tappers that holds the whole mechanism in place. Be careful of your driver's side wing top as you draw it all out, it's very easy to dsamge the paint work.
The rotary motion of the motor is converted to a back & forward action via an arm bolted to the motor output spindle. It's this 13mm nut that slackens off.
You need to ensure that the motor has done it's cycle before you reconnect the arm. If you look on the casting, you'll see two arrows >   < the arm should park between the marks. A little Loctite wouldn't go amiss.
