Elite S1 rear wiper wheel box

[Trunnion 74]

Hello,

I'm in need of a fresh, rear, wiper wheel box, the one I took off has seized.

The number on the back plate is 72911B the height from the top of the base plate to top of the spindle is 75mm and it has a 32 tooth metal gear.  Now here's the thing.  I can find plenty that are 64mm with the correct gear but none that are 75mm.  I have tried the front wiper wheel box and it is too short.

Does anybody have a spare that matches the 75mm height.  not too fussed about condition, as long as it works.

 

Thanks

Roland

Have you tried an ultrasonic bath - just to see if it might shake things loose (the wiper assembly - not you! 😁).

😂 I haven't, neither have I tried the wheel box. I'll give it a go but I don't hold out much hope I think it might be too far gone.  The other issue is the splined top jut spins on its own doesn't seem to be attached to the spindle any more

I'd forgotten about the splined bit 🙄.
