How can I fix the rear wiper motor for an Astra 1995 model?

My rear wiper has died and itll cost mega bucks for a dealer to fit a new one. I can get one from the scrap yard real cheap but the question is, how do i fit it?

Pretty simple to do
I got one from a scrap yard
Remove black covering (bit tricky cause screws have 6 corners)
Have a good look at it before removing
The one i got from the scrap yard was slightly different
- Had an earth wiring coming from it (connect it to screw)
- Shape slightly different
- I removed part with screw holes of old one and put it on new one

On outside of boot remove cover on bottom of wiper
Screw of small bold and remove wiper (may be stiff)
Screw of larger bolt also
On inside of book remove 2 screws and remove old motor

Should be just a matter of re-assembly
