My Daughters '90 D150 had a similar problem a while back here are the notes I posted to the newsgroup Oct 3 2004 (BTW they are still available on Google Groups.) under the subject UpDate: 1990 D-150 WS Wiper Question
For any one that wants to know for future reference.
- Remove wiper arms. Lift blade arm away from window, rotate keeper up let arm down on keeper, wiggle assembly off rotator assembly, Set aside.
- Loosen screws under windshield weather-strip.
- Remove screws in engine compartment.
- Loosen cowl Grill pull out far enough to get windshield washer hoses off of the nozzles. Remove cowl grill.
- Remove nut holding arm to wiper motor. Try not to move motor shaft.
- Remove three bolts holding each wiper pivots to body
- Note the way the arms are positioned in relation to the other parts (this is so you get the new parts installed in the correct direction.
- Remove all the parts to the work bench. (Do not try to do the following in the truck it is not worth the hassle.)
- Remove old bushings if necessary.
- Install new bushings by pressing into arm with vise or pair of large channel locks. (I used a small bench vice 11/16 socket as backer to keep from bending the arm as I pushed the nylon bushing in to the arm and on to the pin).
- Assemble arms onto pins.
- Slip entire assembly back into vehicle.
- Reinstall both wiper pivots (do not tighten bolts yet)
- Install drive arm to wiper motor.
- Tighten wiper pivot bolts.
- Test operation. Correct any problems.
- Reinstall cowl grill.
- Reinstall wiper arms. With blade about 1 1/4 inch from bottom of windshield.
- Test wipers for full range of operation should not hit drivers side A pillar when at top of stroke. (You may need to remove arms and reinstall them in another notch on the pivot to get every thing right).
