I’m pretty sure I know the answer, but hoping I’m wrong. My wiper motor is operating very, very slowly. I’ve cleaned the arms and all joints but no improvement. So, my question is: can you remove the wiper motor without taking out the gas tank? Car is a 1975 914, I’ve had tank out once, just a lot of work.
Thx, PDXBob |
