Default anyone do the "slow wiper" diy in the tech articles? How long did it take you?

My wipers seized on me yesterday and it rained today and is supposed to again tomorrow. I was thinking about tackling this after work today, but if it is going to take too long, I may just ask my girl if I can borrow her car.

Thanks

Default A couple of hours, but that included disassembling and lubing the used wiper mechanism I

got from Shokan before installation. I also pulled out the ECU box for better access to the wiper assembly. This isn't entirely necessary but if you've got time it provides a lot more room to work.

Default Couple of hours is correct, word of caution make sure if you need to

hammer the pivot arm out of the assembly you put the nut back on as not to damage the threads on the pivot arm like I did.
