Has anyone bought the reproduction replacement parts?

**rideblue00** · 01-04-2014, 05:33 PM

maybe i should clarify: I'm talking about the part that the arms slide on to. those are the splines that are stripped.

You can try this or a similar product for blade sets.

I am not sure what you mean by splines? If you mean the splines in the arm, I think these are cut in & can only be fixed with a replacement arm. TRICO made these also but I'm having trouble finding a web reference.

This arm was used in many applications.

Amazon.com: Trico 73-300 Heavy Duty Adjustable...
Ebay also has a wide selection of parts.

Not looking for wiper arms, looking for a new post or a way to repair them.

Something like this? Wiper Pivot Post, AKA wiper transmission post,

They are called trunnions, not real difficult to change the whole assembly as the trunnions are part of the shaft and not replaceable.

you can buy the whole set-up $99 both sides. have not seen a rebuild kit. post a wtb

You can try using some aluminum foil as a shim to take up the space from the stripped splines. Might be enough to give it the required resistance. Easy and free

Blue666 that is close, i was hoping to just find the tip with the splines.

Blue666 · 01-05-2014, 06:33 PM

The first picture was found on Amazon.

This link sells Step & Box van parts but also carries some parts for our type trucks.

I have not been able to find any replacement knurled knobs so you might have to replace the whole pivot.

Good Luck.

I have it already out of the truck. And i am a machinist and a welder, so i do ok on repairing stuff. I was planning on just replacing the spline. I just need to find a source for the knurled pc. Newer van ones are larger in diameter. I was hoping to come up with a easy and cheap repair. Spending money on used ones with out seeing the splines is a crapshoot. And the repros are $80-90. So i need some used ones to experiment with.
