How to remove gear from wiper assembly
Because I had a stuck wiper I disassembled the dash (after 7 times i got quiet good at it Rolling with laughter ) and got the wiper assembly out. Everything was full of gunk so i thought to give everything a good clean and fresh Grease. But i can’t get the gear out of the wiper motor. Just bang harder Or is there a clever tip?

I don't think the big gear can be easily removed. When I last did one, I flushed it with degreaser in situ. Darren

Like Anorak I tried this a few years ago and eventually decided it was not a serviceable item so just flushed it out with degreasant and repacked with grease before putting the cover back on.

I remember searching You Tube - there were plenty of instructions regarding overhauling the motor but nothing about removing the main gear. Defender 90XS SW

Is this particular to newer vehicles? I know I've had one out of a Tdi-era Defender before. I don't remember any problems with that. Donald

The one that I did was from a '92 Defender and looked pretty much identical to the OP's:

Oh well, I'm afraid I can't help any further then.

I know I had mine removed because I had to relocate the nylon 'ramp' which activates the wiper stop switch (I think there are two places it can fit on the drive cog). I don't remember any real issues at all. I assume I removed the circlip on the wiring side, and tapped it through. Donald

It looks to me like it's a press fit with a bearing in the outer housing, you would need a puller but as the fitting likely would have had the pressure applied to the centre of the gear I'd be concerned a puller putting force on the outer edges of the gear would bend it being weaker towards the extremity.

I'd would go with what LRA mentioned, and leave it in situ and flush it out and re-grease. $W33T $0U7H3RN $UG4R

Earlier models had the gear retained by a circlip - looks like they've moved to a press-fit shaft.

I replaced the 1987 motor in my mini with a later unbranded version (2004)that looks very much like yours, and i'm sure the lucas version just pushed out, But that was 15 years ago since I did that. I don't think there made my lucas anymore anyway. 1953 80"

Done it in situ. Thumbs Up

Next question. The new cable is longer than the old one. What to do? Leave it Or grind it?

Maybe do you a swap if you can wait?? I bought a new one for my car - and it's too short! It was one of those 'this part has been superceded by...' things, so I just bought the latest one and it's too short for a Tdi.

It's unmolested in its packet....? Donald

No worries! I appreciate that you'll want the car back together. Believe me, I can sympathise with that! Donald
