This questions pertains to the old square wiper motors on many old cars. In particular, I'm dealing with the two-speed, self-parking motor on our '67 GT6. The documentation I'm finding isn't universal so I'm looking for some first-hand answers on some aspects of the assembly.
There is a plastic gear inside the head of the square wiper motor. This is the gear driven by the worm on the motor shaft. One of my books says there is a thrust washer between the bottom of the gear and the diecast housing. This same book goes on to say there is a spacer washer between the post on the gear and the slider crank the gear drives. Other books make no mention of these washers.
My questions is/are, do all the square motors have these washers? Is the thrust washer between the gear and diecast housing "flat" or is it a bellville (cone) spring washer? I did not find a spacer washer under the slider crank. If this washer is supposed to be there, what is it made of and about how thick is it?
I'd like to put this motor back to "right" when I'm done with it. Thanks.
