with a windshield washer attachment.
REMOVAL:
1. Disconnect cables at the wiper motor and lift free of the

2. Remove wiper arms and blades. The wiper arms are
retained on the burred bushings by a spring clip which is
released by pulling the arm up and away from the wind-
shield.
3. Remove the bolt and clamp from the underside of the
cowl panel.
NOTE: To remove right hand assembly, glove com-
partment must be removed to gain access to this bolt
and clamp.
4. Draw cables through dash to the inside of car.
5. From the outside, lift out pulley housing and cables.
6. Remove gasket.
INSTALLATION:
Reverse procedure of removal. Adjust tension and wiper
arm travel.
NOTE: Right and left pulley housing and cable assem-
blies differ slightly. See that small brass tube is on the
inside of the assembly toward the center of the car.
CABLE TENSION PULLEY
ASSEMBLY
Cable tension pulley assemblies (E), Figure 33, are
mounted under the hood on the right and left side of the
dash panel. These cable tension pulley assemblies are
spring loaded to maintain approximately 14 pounds ten-
sion in the cables.
REMOVAL:
1. Disconnect cables from wiper motor at B, Figure 33,
and lift cables free from pulleys.
2. Remove two screws (F) attaching assembly to support
bracket and remove assembly.
INSTALLATION:
Reverse procedure of removal and adjust cable tension.
NOTE: Right and left cable tension pulley assemblies are
different. An identification mark is stamped on the top of
the plate on which the pulleys are mounted.
ADJUSTMENT:
Windshield wiper cable tension is set at the factory but
requires adjustment whenever an over-travel of the
blade occurs at high speed or a reduction of travel
occurs on dry or snow packed glass.
To adjust the tension, insert a 1/2" socket through the
hole provided in the bracket support and loosen the nut
at the bottom of the spring shaft sufficiently to free the
lockwasher between the pulley base and the mounting
bracket. The spring (G) will automatically move the
pulleys (H) and take up any slack in the cables. Hold
the pulleys in the new position and retighten the nut.
If necessary after adjustment of cable tension, relocate
the wiper arms on the burred bushings so that the
wiper blades rest against the windshield moulding
with wiper in "off" position.
