5788 wiper motor removal?

[nemloc]

What's the trick to remove the wiper motor? Only one screw and it's into a wooden block that's glued to the inside top. Figured I'd ask before I start pulling hard.
Also, what motor unit did folks replace these with?

OK don't know for certain about the 5788 but the 4788 uses a pantograph industrial wiper. One good place for replacement s is AM equipment. They were I believe the OEM supplier.

To remove or install the wiper you have the center nut on the shaft, and the two bolts on the shaft housing.

On my 4087, I found a load of silicone on the inside that I sprayed with debond. With the nuts loosened, I had more success twisting the wiper motor to free it from the silicone versus trying to pull it. Not sure if the silicone was part of the manufacturing process or a previous owner…. Good luck…I also had to mcgiver a little puller to get the wiper off the shaft due to corrosion.

FunnyTT every time I have tried to remove a wiper I have had to use a dremel cutting wheel.
