wiper pivot

Yes, sorry, I was responding to crewchief's post. If your pivot is just frozen or real stiff, free it up with penetrating oil. I usually drill a hole in the housing and install a grease fitting to help lube it up and keep it from happening again. If it's totally worn out, replacement is probably your only option unless you can figure some way of disassembling it and installing a bushing. Probably more work that it's worth. There should be plenty of used ones out there. There again, I would put all new bushings in while you have it apart.
