Not sure about a guide but it's really easy.

1. Remove the cover from the rear wiper (it pulls off), undo the nut underneath and pull the wiper arm off. It might be a bit stiff, but gently wiggle it free.

2. Open boot, look inside the two handles and you'll see a screw inside each. Undo the screws and give the plastic a good pull and it will come out.

3. You'll be able to see the motor mechanism, undo the plug and water pipe first, then undo the 3 bolts. The motor should then pull off, be careful to not lose the rubber grommet from the glass.

4. I plugged the washer pipe with a screw, then used a new rubber blank to fill the hole in the window. Reattach the trim inside the bootlid and you're done.

Also is it worth doing the part in the engine bay? suppose it is, but never used the rear wiper :/
