[T2] 78 wipers shot

[accessys at smart.net]

I repaired mine by mixing some J-B Weld and some small bits of steel wool 
mixed into the J-B weld and and slathered the inside of the gear and the 
shaft and made a mound on top and let this cure for about a week.

  (knock on wood) has been working for about 10 yrs now.

YMMV
