I believe you must remove the c-clip from the motor drive portion of the actuator, then push it through the casting. Then there are three screws to remove to get the cover off. The three screws are covered by the casting when the whole thing is assembled.

I just remembered, be very careful of postioning everything when taking it apart and putting it back together!

If I remember correctly.

So much easier on a 202 and a 210. Wiper straight up, unsnap the arm cover, unsnap the actualtor cover, clean and grease.
