Wiper Motor Assembly

Post by joebez95 »

I had my wiper intermittantly stop working and when I disassembled it I found a bad brush spring. I replaced this spring with a spring I had left over in my junk drawer either left over from an altenator or from a dremel tool I replaced brushes in some years back. PROBLEM: I didn't mark the gears or motor armature upon disassembly like the manual says to. I looked on the net and can not find something which says how to time these components again. Oh boy what an opps!!! If there is anyone who may have some insight to this please let me know. If not, when I figure it out I will take pictures and send them in so they can be posted in case some else's brain checks out when they decide to dismantle a wiper motor. Thanks. Joe

The output shaft to arm has two flats on it that must be vertical with the arm pointing level back along the motor centerline. The motor and such has no alignment.

From the 1971 35-60-08 manual section and drawing.
