Pull the lower w/s trim, the wiper arms, then the rear hood seal & the rest of the screws along the front of the wiper valance, and the screws recessed in the back edge of the valance. It may also be necessary to loosen the hood hinges for enough clearance to lift the valance out.
There should be a special spring clip on the tip of the motor shaft holding both pushrods on, but it's known to rust away. The pivot bushings in the pushrods are also known to degrade, but you can swap in a wipershaft/pushrod assembly from as late as '96 ('97 over 8500 GVWR).
