Wiper Help Needed

There I was driving in a rain storm and the passenger side wiper quit. I think it is the wiper transmission and I'll get into it Sat.

The 53 F100 has vintage air and electric wipers - any advice on the job??

Bob, you are so right. I still have not actualy seen the clip or where the arm attaches but I have felt it and placed the arm on. Hope it wont rain until I find the clip - it has to be in there somewhere.

Thanks Bob.

Bob,

Get a small magnet, put it on a piece of hanger wire, and fish it around in there. I've been able to pull quite a few little buggers out of various places with this technique.

I like to use the Cobalt-Samarium magnets from inside computer hard drives. Waaaay powerful and you can cut them into small pieces to do the job.
