I'm not sure as I'm away from my car but I think at the spindle end of the wiper arm you lift up the black plastic cover and undo the nut and prise the arm off with some wobbling etc. The wiper motor is under the plastic which you just pull/prise away gently.

You need to remove the small nuts retaining the wipers, remove the wipers and then remove the large black nuts. Then remove the long rubber seal running along the rear of the engine bay holding the black plastic plenum cover down. Carefully pull on the small metal clips on the opposite edge of the plenum cover underneath the edge of the windscreen to allow you to pull the cover free. You need a little bit of patience to maneuver the plenum cover off without breaking it. That will allow you full access to the wiper mechanism.

Hope this helps.

Mark.

Mate these are instructions i made up for removing the cover and getting to a different part under the wipers. I think the motor is under there to so this how-to guide should help:
