Windshield Wipers wont Park

I've been trying to track down a problem with my windshield wiper motor. I've read several threads on the issue and before I tear into the motor, want to confirm that the contacts in the motor are the issue.

The issue is that the wipers do not park and the intermittent setting does not work. Here is what I have checked/confirmed so far.

1. The Switch is fine, contacts are not sticking, but the wipers stop wherever the switch goes to off. The wash and low/high speeds work fine but wipers don't 'park.'
2. When I turn the knob for the intermittent wipers the relay clicks intermittently as it should, but the motor does not turn. So this makes me think the relay and switch are fine and the problem is in the motor itself
3. Occasionally, the wiper motor squeels when turned on.

I think all this means it is the grounding contact in the motor that tells it to park, but I have NO experience with it.

I've only found one thread on the subject and the pics/instructions were not clear enough for me to feel confident tearing into it. Despite my best effort, I really stink at the 'search' thing. ANyone have a detailed 'how to' rebuild the wiper motor, specifically the contacts for park and such? Thanks!
