Re: how to change wiper motor? 71 Suburban

There are about 4 bolts on the top, and one in each door jam if I remember correctly.
Then there are philips head screws in the grill area, and those I like to replace with a rust proof screw.

As for the paint thing.
For me, there is no way around not making it look bad.
I would just go for it, then I would replace the bolts with a nice cad plated or stainless bolt with a larger washer to cover the paint issue.

When you are removing the wipers, I like to wrap them in a t-shirt with masking tape. Since they like to pop off and land on the hood, and if you have nice paint they could cause a chip.
