Wiper shaft is stuck by rust (aluminium oxide). Remove wiper motor. Knock out wiper shaft with soft hammer. Clean shaft hole with similar size drill bit.

Wiper stay in upright position when on intermittent

before anyone replaces the motor, check the the small arms that connect the wipers are well oiled and in full rotation. While your car is off, slowly and with little force push the wiper arms down and watch that the small outer connector arm rotates in a full circle. Have a friend grease(white) or oil with machine oil these connectors. if they move but don't fully rotate, buy and replace those before you do a new wiper motor.

Rear wiper just stop in the middle. It looks as if the motor has no power.

It will surely be the rear wiper motor that failed. The hatch panels can be removed, lift the hatch. You'll find a torx screw where the pull handle is, remove. Pull down the lower portion of the panel, the upper is also held on by push clips, just pull it away. Lower hatch, remove wiper arm cap, and nut holding wiper arm on. take off the large nut off at the base of the wiper shaft. raise hatch, remove elctrical connector, and 3 10mm bolts holding wiper motor and bracket. Replaced and reverse procedure.

How do you Replace the Spark Plugs on a 1999 Pontiac Montana

The three front ones are simple and the three back ones are challenging. There are two ways to replacing the rear spark plugs on the Montana.
1. If your arms are long enough and you have longs extensions with a spark plug socket with a swivel build in to it, you can get to the plugs from under the Montana.
2. You can get to the rear plugs buy disconnecting the two dog bone engine mounts in front of the engine and tilting the engine forward. You can do this by placing the parking brakes on and disconnecting the dog bone, once that is done. Place your foot on the brakes and take the parking brakes off and push the Montana forward till the engine tilts forward enough to give you the room you need to get your arms over the top of the engine with the extensions and spark plug socket. Make sure you place the parking brakes back on and put a block at the rear of the engine to ensure the Montana will not move back and cause you to loose your arm or head.
Note that you need to keep the transmission in park when tilting the engine and that your going to have to replace the spark plug wires and do everything by touch to replace the rear spark plugs.
Thank you for using Fixya and use platinum spark plugs to give you 100,000 miles of service. Good luck and be safe.

Rear wiper blades

No...blade comes off end of arm... If in doubt, most "supermarket" style parts outlets will put it on for free.
