Default Rear Wiper Motor Burned Out

Dumb question, but I'll ask it anyways. This morning on the way to work it was raining so I had both the front and rear wipers going. I get to a stop light a few miles down the road and just happened to notice the rear wiper was frozen in place and I didn't recall flicking it off.
Tried it a few times and no dice, so I guess it's burned out. I have no plans on doing that Rear wiper Delete Mod and was wondering if it's really just a simple buy and replace issue?

I'm searching through old forums and most guys either ripped it out and used the Home Depot drain plug or took it back to the stealership. If it's just a quick few bolts and connection to the battery, I'd prefer to do it myself. Just figured I'd ask before going further.

It wouldn't be possible for the replacement to be any easier.....

Biggest concern will be breaking the plastic clips when you remove the panel.

That's what I was hoping for. I'm looking at some pix in another thread about it right now. Doesn't look that complicated.

I've taken it out before, extremely easy. Should take you more than 10 minutes.
