Hi
Today tutorial on how to step by step fix wiper's bearing.
You will need to reserve at least 2 hours as the bearing removal will take some time
At the beginning you should have proper replacement bearing purchased.
You can easily find them on Ebay.
In advance (a day or 2 before) you should spray bearings with some oil like wd-40 so it would be easier then to remove bearings.
Lets begin:
As you can see this bearing is in miserable condition, totally corroded and noisy
In order to avoid setting up position of arms I marked where they were before dismantling them
You will have to remove two nuts
and take off the arms
Now it is time to remove bearings
The easiest way is to push them out using socket wrench and simply hammer it until it leaves
You have to bearings to remove
New replacement bearing
and the dimensions. BTW do you know how to use and read from caliper? ;)
The set you can on Ebay
When you will install new bearings make sure you put them inline with the base and use soft material to push them in
I used hammer and wooden wire brush, easy hammer it until it is on the position
Put the parts together
Arms are based on pins which are screwed to the mechanism on the car. You must pay attention to put the elements in correct way as the hole drilled on arm is narrowing in one direction as it is on picture
Here I made 1 mistake; I didn't check how long should be the bolts holding pieces together
They were to long to put the covers on arms, so I had to remove them, cut them and put back again
Thx
