I just completed mine at the weekend i must admit i got the mechanism out no problem however, the right hand spindle that was seized was a sod to get out it took me almost two hours i nearly gave up.
Must admit i was glad i did the whole job only cost me £10 (£2 for WD40 and £7.99 for copper ease) Both wipers are working like new.
The only thing i would say is be very careful when tapping the spindles out as i rounded one of mine off slightly at the top but, luckily i managed to repair it.
If you have the patience its definitely worth doing took me nearly five hours in total but 2hrs was spent getting one spindle out saves hundreds the cheapest i found when calling local garages was £350 and that was to fit a second hand part and ford wanted over £500 cheeky sods also told me i couldn't get a washer i thought i had lost through the engine bay separately as it came with the mechanism strange how i called Volkswagen and they stocked the exact same washer for £1.10.
I have been to Ford three times over the past couple of years and found each time their parts dept have been useless you learn more from reading up on this site - Thanks again FordMPV
