 Re: Reversing wipers Hi
I'm after doing the same but after taking off the plastic 'dash cover' I couldn't work out how to remove the wiper motor to access the crank.Can anyone help. (apologies if I'm being thick and it's obvious)

Re: Reversing wipers The motor, bracket, linkage, and spindles, all come out as one unit. You need to undo the nuts on the spindles on the outside, and then I think there are some bolts(3?) holding the bracket to the bulkhead, that might be wrong, I can't really remember, it's been a while.

Re: Reversing wipers Cheers Joolz
Thinking back I think there's two bolts above the motor on the inside so your description makes sense, will give it a go in the morning.
Cheers Andy

Re: Reversing wipers if your lucky and dextrous9 and know what to do) it can be done in situ, but far easier to take it all out, dash off wipers and spindle nuts off, 2 m5 bolts under the windscreen crossbar. Then off with the M6 nut on the motor spindle swap the crank 180* ( its got flats either side so its 0* or 180* fitment) Deek did his racer so the wipers park vertical for extra aerodynamics

Re: Reversing wipers Good morning
Just completed reversing the wipers, all went to plan except my spindle had splines not two flats so had to fiddle about a bit to line it up.
Thanks for the info guys much appreciated
