Photo DIY - Greasable Wiper Shafts

I've been asked about this once or twice and the photos seem to be gone from the original post on BWF, so I thought I'd post it as a DIY here. This only covers the modification of the shafts. You're left to the EPC and WIS for your particular model to get the right parts, get the arms in and out of the vehicle, etc as these steps will be different from model to model.

RE: Photo DIY - Greasable Wiper Shafts

Nice job Dave but I have to admit that I've gotten so used to G-AMG's shop and tool selection that I was a little disappointed in the pictorial here. Just look at your bench and vice. My God man! What have you been doing with that thing?

:boink:


Hey, I cleaned it up for the "photo shoot!"

Literally though? Everything! I'm pretty sure that vise is nearly as old as I am. Most all this stuff was my dad's before it was mine. I've been in Patrick's shop. Its the bee's knees. A man's shop says alot about him I think. Go back and have a look at the pix I posted with the little Jag thread. That's me. Totally me. I can't hide, and sure can't change.

All the best,

-Dave G.
