Wiper pivot frozen

[Sonny]

One of my wiper pivots is very tight. I tried pb blaster on it but not helping. Anyone know how to take it apart?

I have a set available if you post a picture of it then maybe we can match it up. That why I bought this set because mine were frozen on my 70 GTX. But car was sold so I have no need for these.

Here is the passenger pivot that I need:

Have you tried soaking it in Evaporust? I've used the stuff on quite a few things to unrust, and the stuff works wonders. Just in case you cant find a replacement pivot

Take it out and add a grease fitting in the side and grease it 99% of the time it will free up. Good time to do the wiper pivot seals also.

I have one that's good, $20.00 plus shipping. Should fit in a small flat rate box for $6.00

This is copied from my build thread . . . adding a zurk fitting to the wiper pivot shafts . . .
( I made sure that the fitting would be pointing downward so it could be accessed after the car was back together - that's the black mark )

Center drill the location . . .

Drill the hole till you touch the shaft . . .

Grind the point off the drill bit to get more of the hole cleared . . .

You'll have to grind ( or cut ) the end of the tap to get the treads to cut . . . then tap it . . .

And lastly . . . install the zurk fitting . . . ready for grease . . .

Try ATF and acetone.

Try ATF and acetone.

What is ATF? Do I just mix both and let it soak? Thanks for the advice!

A socket and impact wrench with a little PN Blaster works for me

Came here to post this. Also, add some heat to the wiper pivot then drop in the mix.

I found 75% ATF and 25% acetone works great.
