Hi, I'm Don from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we're going to show you how to replace the wiper transmission on this 2002 Chevy Suburban. It's the same part and similar process on these Suburbans from 2000 to 2003. The items you'll need for this is new wiper transmission from 1AAuto.com, flat blade screwdriver, 10mm and 13mm socket and ratchet with an extension, and a T15 Torx bit.
Start off by prying off these caps on the end of your wiper arms and pulling out the washer hoses. Then, remove those two 13mm nuts. Once you've removed the nut, just push in and out on the wiper arm to loosen it up. Then, angle it up and pull it free from the stud and repeat the process on this other wiper arm. Next, you want to just pry off these tabs right here. There's four of them in total. To pry them off, just use a flat blade screwdriver and get underneath them while pulling on them. We'll just fast forward as Don does the other three. Now push in, into the slot, and pry up on this plastic panel and pry it out from the side. Just pull that panel free. Then you want to remove this T15 Torx bolt right here. We'll just fast forward as Don does that. Then pry out on this clip in the center of your cowl panel. Then pry up this panel on this side and slide it up your antenna and off. Then, remove the T15 Torx bolt on this side. Now, pull up on the cowl panel and slide it forward. On the driver's side, you want to lift it up and pull the washer hose free. Then just slide the cowl panel out.
Next, remove these four 10mm bolts and we'll fast forward as Don removes those and pulls that tray free. Now remove this 10mm bolt and this 10mm bolt right here. Again, we'll fast forward. Now, pull your transmission forward, then up and out. Then just push the tab on this harness and pull the harness free, and your transmission is free.
Now you want to just pry up on this transmission arm so that it pries free from the motor arm. Then remove these two 10mm bolts. Now take your motor and reconnect it, and just reset the motor by turning on your car. Turn your wiper blades on then back off. Then turn off your vehicle. Disconnect the harness and pull your motor free.
Up front is the old wiper transmission and behind it is the new one from 1AAuto. You can see they are identical and they will fit exactly the same. Line up your motor with the transmission and replace those two 10mm bolts. We'll just fast forward as Don does this and tightens those up. Push your transmission arm back down onto the motor arm and, using pliers, just push it back down onto the stud.
Then, feed your transmission back down into the vehicle and reconnect your motor harness. Now, we'll just fast forward as Don replaces those two 10mm bolts in the transmission. Now, put that tray back down into place and replace those four 10mm bolts. Now, feed your cowl panel back into place. Just line it up on either side. On the driver's side, make sure you reconnect that washer hose. Now, push the pin in the center of the cowl panel back down into place and then replace this T15 Torx bolt. Then, push the panel back down into place over the top of it. Then replace the T15 on the other side. Then slide the panel down the antenna and down into place until it snaps in. Then, push these four clips back on. Push your wiper arm back down onto the stud and reconnect the washer hose. Then, angle the wiper arm and blade to where you want it and then replace the 13mm nut and tighten it up. Then just repeat the process on the other side. Then just replace those two caps and you're all set.
