Windscreen wiper — removal and installation (Renault Espace I)

1. Removing and installing the windshield wiper motor is not particularly difficult, however, there are differences.

2. Before removing any part, turn the wiper off and on again so that it returns to the resting position.

3. Now you can disconnect the battery.

4. To remove the windshield wiper arms, unscrew the wiper lead screw nuts from the outside and remove the arm (see illustration).



5. To remove the windshield wiper motor on early models, remove both bolts (see illustration 10.4), disconnect the connector block and remove the windshield wiper link.

6. Unscrew the motor shaft nuts and three mounting bolts, then remove the motor. While doing this, watch how the engine crank is installed in relation to the long rod, so that you can reattach it in the same way.

7. On later Espace models, the wiper mechanism is quite difficult to remove. In addition to the wiper arms, disconnect the washer jet hoses and remove the air intake grille in front of the windscreen.

11. Install the parts in reverse order.

12. After installation, turn on the windshield wiper and make sure that its arms are set to the proper position.
