 |
|
I've searched the gallery and forums, but can't seem to find exactly what I'm looking for. When I took my wiper assembly out, one of the linkage arms was missing. If the motor shaft is the same length as the pivot shafts, how am I supposed to fit both linkage arms over it? Just in case that is confusing let me try again... One end of the linkage arm (w/ bushing) goes over the pivot shaft, then a lock washer and the c-clip. But the shaft coming out of the motor is the same size as the shaft on the pivots. So how am I supposed to get the left and right arms onto the shaft? I've ground the bushings down to where there is no excess, but both arms still don't fit over the shaft. So what am I missing?

How about an image of the wiper motor you have.
