Wiper Linkage Restoration

[nitrousn]

I have been in the process of putting my 69 charger back together. My wiper linkage is decent and no one will see it, however being a nut and bolt restoration I need to do something. I was just thinking of bead blasting and spraying with Eastwood diamond clear coat.Then installing all new bushings. The three speed motor has already been done by Bruce. Is it worth the time putting grease fittings on the shafts? How is this done without pulling the pivots apart? Looking for suggestions. Thanks.

Look at reply #9 in this thread.  I just drilled into the pivot case with the correct size drill. Note that you want to add the zerk below the flange. Then, I force threaded the zerk fitting into the hole, the case is made of soft metal so it threads in by itself, sort of like a self threading screw.  If you can, do a test on scrap metal to get the right size drill.

Now that I think about it, I used your thread to guide me when I did mine.

Thanks for the replies. One more question. At the motor to cowl mounting there are 3 steel sleeves that go through the grommets. Are they the same sleeves 2 speed vs 3 speed?
