The winsheild wipers on my 82 240 have begun to sweep to the passenger side too much. Where does one access the linkage and adjust this?

Never seen one on any car where there is an adjustment on the wiper transmission as to the sweep area. You can adjust where the blade starts, ends and parks all at the same time by removing the wiper arm and then just reseating it. The arm socket has teeth that are a few degrees apart. But normally this is only necessary if the arm has been removed and not reseated where it belongs.
If that doesn't do it, then it;s probably either live with it or install a new transmission.
Ditto... at the wiper arm. One nut to release the arm... and you sometime need a puller to get it out... DO NOT USE WINDSHIELD AS BRACE... or you will crack it.
Another thing to look at is the the bushings in the transmission... they are worn and shot by now... if you can replace all of them... it would work like new.
