rear wiper repair
yeah, my rear wiper hung up and was not in the complete park position. this would drain the battery . pull the fuse until you can repair the "wiper shaft". it's real easy.
Flip open the wiper arm lid over the shaft nut
remove the shaft nut
remove the rubber type grommet
clean and remove the "C" type clip ring on the shaft
remove the large nut that was under the grommet
open the rear window
make note where inside nuts are prior to removing for correct installation later
remove the two nuts that hold assembly to rear glass
remove the assembly
--you will notice the assemble arm is hard to move or doesn't seem to move
oil up where the wiper arm nut was, to help with freeing the shaft
--you will see a washer on the shaft and under that an "O-ring" remove them
put the nut back on the shaft so you don't ruin the threads
start tapping the nut with a hammer
--the shaft is going to slide out the assembly, but may need to be tapped a number of times
once out oil the shaft and the brass sleeve where the shaft was in
clean the gunk off the shaft
clean the gunk out of the sleeve
grease up the shaft and reinstall into sleeve.
--put assemble back together and notice how easy it moves now.
--put assembly back on the rear glass where original markings were
wiper arm needs to be in the "park" position, down
install fuse and test!
