I was recently in the wiper motor area to see what would be involved in a near future "preliminary replacement" and studied up on it a little.
The following steps are right out of my 97 FSM, probably not too different from your year. I tried as best I could to get the figure into this reply but couldn't get it to transfer over. I hope that this at least gives you an idea of what's needed.
WIPER MOTOR
FRONT
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
(2) Remove the wiper arms as described in this group.
(3) Remove the eight screws that secure the cowl plenum cover/grille panel and screen to the cowl top panel (Fig. 9).
(4) Lift the cowl plenum cover/grille panel and screen from the vehicle far enough to access the windshield washer plumbing. Use care so as not to damage the paint around the pivot openings of the panel.
(5) Disconnect the windshield washer supply hose and the passenger side washer nozzle hose from the washer nozzle hose tee fitting.
(6) Remove the cowl plenum cover/grille panel and screen from the vehicle.
(7) Reach into the cowl plenum and unplug the wiper motor wire harness connector.
(8) Open the hood and remove the two nuts that secure the studs of the wiper module mounting bracket and grommet to the cowl plenum panel (Fig.10).
