Wiper linkage removal

[Cory M]

In swapping out my wiper motor, it seems like my wiper linkage is seized. How can I easily remove the linkage to try and repair this? Any help or advice is appreciated.

Can you access under the dash?

Not really. It's an AC car and has alot going on. If I'm not mistaken, it looks like the dash needs to come out. Ugh.....

It is more than likely the pivots that have siezed. Like was mentioned in 4, remove the cluster and maybe the ash tray and you should be able to get them out. Soak the pivots in PB Blaster or some sort of penetrant for a spell. Once you get them loosened up, drill a hole in the housing and add a grease zirk. Once you get them greased, you will never need to do it again.
