you gotta take the bolts off the wiper spindles mounting brackets.. take off the covers for the cavity there. .. take off a nut the attaches the arm assembly to the motor (its on a spline, so just give it a wack) then fish it all out the driverside hole.

From what I remember, just take off the four bolts that hold it to the firewall. It should then move around a little bit. Give it a good, solid pull to pop the motor off (The motor attatches to the wipers via a cup and ball connection. ie. the cup is on the motor, and it securely pops over the ball on wipers)
