wiper motor removal

[sapper]

Can any one tell me how to get the wiper motor off. Ive undone the bracket and the nut to the left under the mesh but it wont come loose. I dont want to break anything.

You have to undo the small bolts on the top flat plate and remove,then you can slowly slide the shaft off the mechanism,i presume your motor is under the bonnet?

Once you have removed the bracket, remove the covers of the wiper blades and the 13mm nuts that hold them on, crack the arms off,(lay them on the screen) whilst not disturbing the washer pipes, undo the 19mm brass nut on the alloy ferule and rack tube and gently twist the motor to unplug the park switch and slide the whole of the motor with the rack out of the car. This is good practice, so that when you replace the rack, freshly lubed and rotated around so that NEW drives are running in the pinions.
If you are replacing the park switch and not rotating the rack then set the arms in the upright position (so that the park cam is out of position so that you can fit the switch without breaking it), bracket/release ferule nut/swap switch, refit reverse procedure.

Still having trouble with my wipers, Ive replaced the park swith and the carbon bushes, but sometimes they stick in the vertical position. if you give them a push they work again. Anyone got any ideas what to do next?
