Dakota 2WD V8-4.7L VIN J (2005)
1. The wiper arms (4) must be indexed to the pivot shafts (6) with the wiper motor in the park position to be properly installed. Position the wiper
arm pivot end onto the pivot shaft so that the lower edge of the wiper blade (1) is aligned with the wiper alignment lines (2) concealed in the upper
margin of the lower windshield blackout area.
2. Once the wiper blade is aligned, lift the wiper arm away from the windshield slightly to relieve the spring tension on the pivot end and push the
arm down over the pivot shaft.
3. Install and tighten the nut (5) that secures the wiper arm to the pivot shaft. Tighten the nut to 24 N.m (18 ft. lbs.).
4. Wet the windshield glass, then operate the wipers. Turn the wiper switch to the Off position, then check for the correct wiper arm position and
readjust as required.
5. Reinstall the plastic nut cap (3) onto the wiper arm pivot nut.
