Wiper motor disassembly

I believe the winding core is a slight press fit into the outer housing. If you can hang onto the winding and tap the outer case lip, it may separate.

I have restored many of this type. You need to use a puller to remove it. It can be reinstalled by pressing it back. A real hassle and not for the faint of heart. It is a cadmium finish.

Good info. Is a 2 or 3 prong/arm puller recommended? Any little tricks? What are you referring to as “ A real hassle...”? Using the puller or the whole resto process - which is quite involved with lots of moving parts. By the way my wiper assembly is fully operational and is mostly getting a cosmetic resto.

Thanks

Edit: This is in response to McCune:

OK, i like the sound of that. There are a bunch of resto shops that restore these correctly so there has to be a way to separate the case from the innards.

Thanks
