I have finally found a wiper motor et all, but I have to drive for a little bit to get it and I want to make sure that I have the right tools to take it out before I leave.

The owner of the bug is using the car as part of a display in his store and said that I can have any thing inside it, but I have to take it out myself. I just want to make sure that I bring the right tools with me. Any suggestions?

>10mm wrench or socket and ratchet to remove the nuts holding the wiper arms to the pivots.
>Water pump pliers to remove the outer nuts holding the pivot arm sleeves to the body.
>10mm wrench or socket to remove the small bolt that holds the "bracket" to the body upright.
>Screwdriver to push/pry the rubber body gaskets out of or through the holes when pushing the pivot sleeves through the body holes.
>8mm socket and long extension to remove the strap holding glovebox liner so that you can remove the liner and keep it from fouling the wiper mechanism.

A few extra . . . a 13mm wrench. adjustable wrench and wire cutters . . . that kinda thing wouldn't hurt, but these tools ought to get you there.
