99 OBW wiper transmission disassemble

Featured Replies

Bought a new wiper transmission, but can't figure out how to pull the plastic ball and socket connectors (bushing assembly) apart to disassemble. I tried to wedge the assembly apart with a pry bar without success. I finally gave up before I got too frustrated, and would  break something. Looking ahead, how do I assemble the socket onto the ball at the end of the wiper motor. I don't see much room to get my hands in the cramped space to do anything. With almost daily rain here in the midwest these days, going without wipers is a real pita. Rain-X only works well if going 50 mph+.

 

Thanks for any advise....................Rooster2

Pry bar or a big screwdriver. They're just really tight. Usually takes a pair of channel lock pliers to get them put back together.
