Default DIY: Washer motor repair 56k Shiet....nope

So... i don't know how many of you have had this problem but i kno i did. Some how the seal on my motor cracked and i got water and/or washer fluid inside of it. Everytime i tried to spray my front wipers would go crazy. So here is a little write up(with PICS!) on how to repair it. I don't know how many of you will use it but i know it worked for me!

TOOLS: Wire brush, razor, motor/pump, rubbing alch. optional


So, first take the pump/motor out of the resevoir:


Next, use a razor to cut the seal around the top. You'll see it:


Then you will need pull the guts out, you will have the following:
the electronics, two small magnet WILL fall out, a motor wind, two brass springs, and a round metal piece with two large magnets held in by springs.
you might need to remove these depending on the corrosion.



You should have the following:


Now use the brush to make everything nice and pretty again:




Once this is done, Put it all back together. You will need to put the motor wind into the hole on the cap then put the small magnets in so they stay. Put everything back together minding the notches in the metal piece and tabs inside.


NOW HAPPY SPRAYING! Please constuctive criticism as this is my first writeup.
