Anyone serviced / replaced their front wiper transmission?

My 2001 has a LOT of slop in the front wiper motion. I can grab one of the wiper arms, and I can move it back and forth much more than I should be able to, with the other arm following along.

Tonight, I removed the black cover at the base of the windshield to expose the wiper transmission. My plan was to remove it and see if there are any serviceable bushings or other parts. Unfortunately, even though I was able to get the nut off of the wiper motor, I couldn't get the eccentric arm off of the motor, and that's the only way I could see to make things small enough to get the transmission out of the cowl.

Anyway, that's why I wanted to ask the forum if anyone had had any experience with the wiper transmission. Thanks in advance for any guidance anyone can offer.
