Windshield wiper assembly maintenance
« on: November, 02, 2008, 06:39:37 AM »
I was going to install my windshield wiper assembly, but the bushing where the wiper arms attach seem a little "dry" or not move freely as they should(The bushing going through the cowl). I guess after 40 years they may require a little attention.  How does one service these parts?  Am I clear about this question?

I'm not sure I understand the question.

Do you mean the rotating assemblies seem dry or the mounting bushings?

Yes, the rotating things! I just didn't know how to explain what they are! I was going to instal the wiper assembly, but if there is a way to lube them up, this would be the time to do it. I can always count on you Sluggo! :dance

It's been a while since I put the 67 back together. I don't recall there being anything to do there other than cleaning and lubing them.

+1    There is only so much anyone can do regarding this particular area.  Clean and lube whereever you can.

There's no place to lube or grease fitting.  I'll do what I can.  Thank you for your advice all!  :notworthy:

Dne,

Just as you should for the window regulators, door latches/hinges, etc., .... spray some White Lithium grease on the joints of the rotating assemblies.
