windscreen wiper motor

[Guest]

I have a Princess 35 1985 model. Two of the three windscreen wiper motors have ceased combonation of rust & salt , the usual thing. Can't see manufacturer ID. would a car breakers have similar motor or is it a case of marine supplier only?

http://www.asap-supplies.com/ sell wiper motors (marine ones) in various grades, their website doesn't give any detail yet, but phone/email for a catalogue.

I'd avoid a car model, hopefully!, a marine one will have greater corrosion resistance.

Try taking it apart, bet the spindle has corrosion, can usually be freed, greased and put back together as good as new.

If that doesn't work then I suggest Vetus for replacements.

Mark I've got exactly the same problem with mine. Both have stopped working, siezed solid. Have taken one apart and it's an absolute nightmare. There's cogs and little pins and tiny nylon bushes and slidey bits and stuff. Got it right down to just a bag of bits. The mild steel output shaft is siezed solid in the brass sleeve and it's been soaking in Plus Gas for over a week now and is still solid. Have tried tapping it out and large grips to try to turn it but so far no joy, it's well and truly siezed. So I think I'm going to have to buy new ones too. Perhaps we can get a job lot?

Anyone got any ideas how I can free this up? It' seems odd, but it's definitely a mild steel shaft siezed to a BRASS sleeve.

If you've tried plus-gas..........heat is probably the only way you'll shift it. Those gas-canister blow lamps can do a fine job.

Mine are too far gone i had to cut the shaft off to get it out of situ, with a hack saw .The motor has virtually disintergrated.
