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 |

Short answer - do anything you can to avoid pulling the wipers.
But if you DO pull the wipers, plan on doing a lot of other maintenance while you have all that other stuff out of the car. Like the under tank fuel lines, moving the pump under the tank if you have an early car, replacing the filter if you have a later car. To avoid pulling stuff out, clean your grounds as stated. And also spray lithium grease down the shafts. Wiggle them around, however you can get it in there. Pulling the tank out isn't that bad of a job. Getting the airbox out SUCKS. Zach |
