If one wants to replace a wiper linkage there are a few steps involved. Pull the wiper arm away from the windshield until the arm locks in vertical position. Unbolt the nut that holds the wiper arm to the linkage and pull the wiper arm off the linkage. Open the hood and unbolt the wiper motor and slide the motor off of the linkage. One then will remove the wiper linkage and install a new one.
You have to remove the linkage from the wiper motor.
Because rust slowly begins to grow on the wiper motor ball that is related to the linkage and that corrosion disintegrates the plastic female part that holds on to the motor and it causes to remove the linkage off, my suggestion, buy a new motor and linkage, it will save lots of hassle and time!
