The Heinz Posted October 21 Share Posted October 21 Those usually come as an entire assembly, Mack (Volvo) calls it the "Wiper Mechanism" in Impact. It's number 3 in the diagram below, part number 23550705. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74632-windshield-wiper-stud/#findComment-560450 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vladislav Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 Depending on the style of the junction you can (or can not?) separate one shaft unit from the assembly to change it in the truck. And keep the 2nd one for the future. Usually those "shaft units" are hold in the cab wall by a nut attached at the outer side. You drive it off and remove the unit inside the cab. If it's reattachable from the linkage you need access to that area only. If not you would need to take the most of the dash board apart.

I'm fairly certain the wiper mechanism is under the cowl in the engine bay, so at least you wouldn't have to touch the interior dash assembly or anything.

Popular Post Joey Mack Posted October 28 Popular Post Share Posted October 28 You should be able to remove the plastic vent strip under the windshield to expose access to the transmission. It comes out and goes in as a whole assembly. Take note of the rectangular piece that mounts to the motor stud. It faces up or down.. also, leave the wiper arms off until the end. Also, once you get the transmission in place, before attaching the rectangular block. Run the wiper motor for a cycle, so that it is at 'home position' then connect the block to it. Be careful of the sharp edges of the holes in the cab. 2 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74632-windshield-wiper-stud/#findComment-560939 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark T Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago Those are a real treat, and not for the faint of heart. I've never done one the nuts didn't have to be cut off the wiper post.

Miami Cossack Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago (edited) The Volvo dashes will crumble away to nothing when they get old. Their recycled plastic is dreadful. Those wiper linkages are not fun, that's why the stealership charges so much. I have fished them out the other way but it's awful being my size and standing on your head trying not to pop anything loose by accident. You look up there with a flashlight and you're greeted by 56 butt-splices and a bunch of scotchloks. Again: Jojo for the save Edited 2 hours ago by Miami Cossack chinglish 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74632-windshield-wiper-stud/#findComment-562550 Share on other sites More sharing options...
