Re: {Chrysler 300} 1962 Wiper Motor Replacement

be SURE never to take apart with it in park , you break things .

before taking it out , stop it mid sweep by the key switch

It will not work on bench without grounding solidly the outer metal of wiper switch

if you do not do that you can burn it out ..

hard knocks, long ago

I think mr Merritt has good stuff up on tech site on this

Not parking etc is usually the little nylon park cam is too tight in hole it pivots on , sticks to one side . Get rid of junk white lube , use front end or wheel bearing grease . and 75 W oil

Nylon swells in oil ..why it sticks now . you can kind of take apart , enlarge hole , glue parts back together w epoxy , roughen nylon

it has to move freely on its little positioning spring . Take a pix so you can re assemble right .

I am pulling my wiper motor; as it won’t park anymore.
I have 1 step on the removal process that I need advice on….
(Trying to remove it by leaving the long Wiper Links in, thus separating the Motor Lever Arm from the Motor)

Removed Glove Box AND Speaker
Removed A/C Plastic Duct
Pulled apart the pair of Wiring Harnesses that go to the Motor (they had factory grease on the connectors, that had leaked out of the motor; yum!)
Removed Bolt from the Dash Brace Bracket
Removed 3 Nuts that secure the Motor Bracket to the Inner Firewall
Removed the 3/8” Nut & Star Washer that secures the Motor Lever Arm TO the pair of Wiper Links
And now for the advice needed…..
That threaded stud on the Motor Lever Arm….
How do I get it to wiggle and separate from the Motor?
I have sprayed it with WD40
I have tried to wiggle the Drivers Side Link
I have tried to (gently & with a large flat screwdriver) pry it a bit to separate itself from the Motor
Any advice?

Thanks!
