Hi, I'm Mike 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 2003 Chevy Monte Carlo. It's the same part and similar process on his Monte Carlos from 2002 to 2005. The items you'll need include a new wiper transmission from 1AAuto.com, a 10mm and 13mm socket, a ratchet, a T30 torx bit or driver, and a flat blade screwdriver.
Start off by prying off these caps on the end of either wiper arm. Then remove the 13mm nuts that hold those in place. Use a flat blade screwdriver, and just pry right here at the bottom of the wiper arm. Then lift it up and off the stud. You can set that aside and repeat that process on the other wiper arm. Disconnect your washer hose from the wiper arm, and do the same thing with this wiper arm so your arms are free.
Pull off the weather strip and unclip your washer hose. Just set those aside. You want to remove this clip, this clip, and, right there, there should be a third clip. To remove these, you just pry up the center, pull it out, and then pry out the base. Just repeat the process on the other two, and then for this clip right here, you just want to twist it out with a flat blade screwdriver while lightly prying up with another screwdriver. You should be able to pull it up and out.
Now, lift this cowl panel up and set it aside. Lift up this panel and remove it. Now, remove this bolt, this bolt, and this bolt right here. Each of those are 10mm. Next, you want to remove this panel. To do that, you just need to pry up on this clip right here using a flat blade screwdriver. It'll pop out, and you can lift the panel up and off. Now, you want to pry this arm free. Just tuck it to the side and then pull your transmission up until you can access the harness on the motor. You just push the tab with a flat blade screwdriver and pull the harness free. Now, you can pull your transmission up and out.
Then, you want to remove these two 10mm bolts on either side of wiper post. You can see that our motor and transmission crank are missing. You do not need to remove those for this process. We do, however, have to remove these caps on the top of each wiper post. We'll fast-forward as Mike removes those other two 10mm bolts, and then the transmission is free. Up top is the old transmission; below it is the new one from 1A Auto. You can see they're identical, and they'll fit exactly the same.
Remove the caps from your new transmission posts. Push it into place, just lineup those bolt holes, replace the two 10mm bolts over here, and repeat the process on the other side of the transmission. Put those caps onto the wiper posts, on with that bushing. Then feed your transmission back down into place and reconnect your motor harness. Replace the three bolts that secure the transmission.
Then push this panel back down into place, lineup that clip, and push it back down in. Then replace your cowl panel, do the same thing on this side and replace those clips. You want to replace the base first with the center still up, and then just push it down to lock it. Re-clip your wiper hose, and then put your weatherstrip back into place.
Push this clip back down and replace the other clips. Put the wipers down onto the studs and replace those 13mm nuts. Once you've tightened those up, replace the washer hose and the cap. Do the same thing for the other wiper arm, and then you're all set.
