Still got to try out my WART. Can bring it to the Ice Fest if anyone wants to buy it after helping me change the arm.

Is the seal on the scuttle panel/wiper drive replaceable?- mine is deteriorating.It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

Most of those marks were there from before, and the new marks I added can be rubbed off and hidden easily enough! Sorting the scuttle panel is on my to do list and has been for twelve months
I give my warts away for free Del

I was just joking about the WART, was going to keep it JIC but tried to use it to remove mine and it's too small.
After conference with SWMBO aborted attempt to take the old arm off as I'm bound to break the spindle thing. It was not budging for love nor money, even with tool just about fitting.

I thought mine was going to break, but I carried on winding, using an open ended spanner for the last turn, and then pop.. Off it came

I did consider that but am worried it might damage the motor spindle. It was not budging a jot. It's a case of if it ain't broke and won't come off easily leave well alone before I completely destroy it.
