Set the wiper motor link plate onto the wiper motor shaft. When doing this, the wiper motor link plate and the wiper link rod should be in line as shown.
NOTE: When the wiper motor link plate has slipped by even only one tooth on the wiper motor assembly, they cannot be in line.
Tighten the attaching nut of wiper motor link plate and wiper motor shaft. Use an appropriate tool to counter-hold the plate to prevent it from turning.
Apply grease to the inside of link rod joint (as required) and connect the link rod to wiper motor link plate.
Specified grease: Multipurpose grease SAE J310, NLGI No. 2 or equivalent
