Angelo,
Assuming you have the same setup as my '3B, it is really quite simple.
Remove the long plate from the top of the wiper motor gearbox. Remove
the circlip and the little copper celectric contact and lift the drive
gear. This will release the drive cable. Unscrew the nut that holds the
drive cable to the wiper motor gearbox and lift the fitting on the end
of the drive cable tube to disengage it from it's home at the end of the
gearbox. Then do the obvious to remove the motor.
No need to mess with the wheelboxes. To remove the drive cable, remove
the wiper arms. The cable will pull right out.
Have fun!
