Easy Dave, undo the 10mm nut that holds the "crank" onto the wiper motor itself and rotate the "crank" through 180 degrees.

Refit nut and refit motor, job done.

Just make sure the motor has parked itself before you do it, ie ignition not switched off mid sweep....

Very common question - can we make it a sticky?
