My Series iia individual wiper motors are due a little work. One works, is pretty slow, and is at least functional.
The other, however, is not working. I suspect the previous owner always rode solo, and it thus sat idle for many years. There was surface rust on the rotor and I now have them cleaned so the insides move. They do not move when power is hooked up though.
I can't for the life of me get the black cover off the motor. I suspect the arm mechanism is not connected correctly, and I want to inspect and regrease all the sprockets etc.
1. Is there some kind of a trick to removing the black/lower cover off this motor, thus exposing all the sprockets? It pulls off about 1/3 inch, then is stuck.
2. When these motors fail - does anybody have a list of what I should check for?
Ultimately - I may buy a junker donor motor for parts, but so far I have not been able to identify the real issue. Would appreciate any guidance/help!
Thanks!
