Get someone else to do it while you watch and drink beer.

Yes I noticed if the Engine wasn't in the Engine bay, you would get in closer to get to the drama, there is a extreme idea, drill a hole  to the left of where wiper motor is and you get your hand in and would help to get to the subject matter and then put a cover over the hole when done.

Sounds like a Nightmare Hutch

The extra hole is sounding good, who ever designed that part of the car, must never gave it a thought you might need to replace the wiper assembly one day.

MacGyver magic with string to hold wiper assembly in place.   Then after all the Fun, its all done and round thing's going round and round.
