2007-2014 GM SUV Wiper Motor and Transmission

In this episode I replace the Wiper Motor and Transmission in my 2009 Cadillac Escalade. Tahoe/Suburban/Yukon should be very similar. I filmed this one as I went and this is the first time that I have had to replace one, so there are some lessons learned in the video and some on screen notes. This is a pretty long video, so I have included jump points:
