Windscreen wiper

[gruffalo]

I fitted a new motor last weak which has much improved my wipers, however, the spindles seemed very tight.

Does any one know how to get them out for a clean up a grease?

No one ever had this problem?

I would just dribble some oil down the shaft and get plenty of grease onto the rack. (push pull cable) It is more usually congealed grease in the rack that gums it up rather than the spindle boxes. I had the bottom hinge of one wiper arm seize up and had the motor in bits before i realised.

Thanks, I repacked the rack as suggested but it made no difference, will try a regular application of 3in1 and see if that frees things up.

Thanks for the advice.
