Question Wiper motor Removal/Replacement

Need some help here... Bar Hopper is a 95 2400scr. The wiper stopped moving this morning. I can hear the motor running but nothing is happening. I believe the gear may be stripped. Can anyone tell me how to fix this or how I can remove the wiper motor to replace it. Can seem to find anywhere to access it below. There are two screws on the topside, Does the motor come out from the top or do I need to puul the wall apart in the cabin?
Thanks for any advice/ideas.

Try removing the wiper arm and verify the shaft is not turning. There is a small coller that fits on the shaft and then the wiper arm attaches to it. te coller may be loose. If this is not the problem then the wiper motor will need to be replaced. I am not sure how to access it but I tink you may be able to get at it by pulling the fridge them looking up.

My wiper motor is located in the head. I have replaced the bronze bushings on mine.

just an update: Got a new wiper motor. It was accessed by removing the cabinet on the wall in front of the head. There is a panel behind the cabinet. Anyway, it was a relatively easy job. I have since changed out the fresh water strainer and cleaned out the fresh water tank and lines. I have repaired my holding tank so that my head works properly and can be pumped out... I have also installed a new VHF radio with DSC. And rewired the fresh water pump switch in the main cabin. now onto the battery charger. for some reason the wires coming from the charger to the battery were cut. gonna have to figure it out.
