You will probably have to pull the arm off the car before you can move it as there are most likely "teeth" on the actual motor. I'll take a look tonight.

I figured as much however I was reluctant to pull it off out of fear of hitting the edge of the hood and chipping the paint. Let me know how you make out.

yea let us know what you come up with

I tell ya, that passenger side one sucks..not sure how you can adjust it without taking the hood off. :dunno:

Taking the hood off is really the only way I could see to manually adjust it. So the question is, is it worth your time to pull the hood?

I tried to pull the passenger wiper off also. It's on there pretty tight. I'm thinking the only way to get it off, after pulling the nut, is to use a puller (gear puller).

I also removed the plastic cover around the fresh air intake to look at the linkages. Nothing was bent and no worn bushings that I could tell. So for now it stays.
