Rear wiper problem!

Hi folks, my rear wiper (944 lux 1986) was getting noisey so I dismantled it, gave it some fresh grease and put it back together and now the problem started. When I press the switch now it sweeps the window and on the way back stops halfway across the window! You can still hear the motor and have to take it back to the rest position by hand. I've taken the casing apart and what is happening is the worm gear is slipping as the wiper goes back, is this because I've put to much grease in? Any body any experience of this and how do you dismantle the whole set of cogs 'cos thats what I will have to do to clean all the grease off?[FONT=verdana,geneva"] [FONT=verdana,geneva"]Thanks[FONT=verdana,geneva"] [FONT=verdana,geneva"] [FONT=verdana,geneva"]
 
Hmmmm, not come across a problem with the rear wiper before [&:]

If you can't fix it there should be a few people with spare ones as it seems to be a popular thing to remove altogether.
 
Nick,
Could it be that you've either gotten grease onto one of the electrical tracks or that the orientation of the spur gear is out of sync?
 
Thanks for the suggestions lads, managed to get it apart and the main drive cog has a stripped section of teeth [:mad:] so its a none starter, if anyone has an old one that I could take apart perhaps, I would appreciate it, failing that I'm kind of liking the deleted rear wiper look, at the moment I have a rubber grommet glued in to the resulting hole, is there a proper weather proof blank you can get to fill the hole.

Cheers
 
If you think something "proper" is worth anywhere between £20 and £35 more than the grommet then there is. Personally I use the grommet.

It's a bolt from a desk, sprayed black with a washer and a nyloc nut on the other side. Doesn't leak and looks OK still.
