Loose Wiper Arm (2a)

[ricoswee]

Wiper motor works. Wiper arm follows BRIEFLY. Think knurl on shaft is loose. Can’t pull arm off knurl (or knurl off shaft). Drill through it all and safety-wire it? Advice please.

If its that tight you could split it of by cutting with a Dremel and replace with new parts . The arm will usually come off by levering between the flange on the knurled adaptor (605904) and the arm with a screw driver or similar .

Thanks. My wipers are independent and there’s no handy ring behind the knurl. But I’ll see if I can rig something like that. Rico

The independent wipers originally had a collet and a nut in the arm that gripped the spindle from the motor, I take it yours had been fitted the knurled adaptor and later arms?
