Wiper Pivot Cogs

[Mike Nance]

I've searched the forum and the internet for the cog(not sure if that is the corrcet nomenclature) on top of the wiprt pivot arm. DOes anyone know where to source

this item. Any help would be appreciated.

Mike, I believe the drive gear comes attached to that wiper support spindle #17, part 61618444105. (Driving spindle)

 

I’m not sure it’s available separately (though obviously being pressed on, it might be). Perhaps it’s a common wiper gear size also used elsewhere (German vintage cars) you can locate?

Maximillian Importing Co found a stash of NOS that had one side, not sure which about a month ago

Mike, if you're seeking just the splined end that holds the wiper arm to the whole wiper assembly, I  don't think they're available separately--at least there's only one part number shown on RealOEM for each wiper pivot.  However, those splined ends are pretty universal in terms of diameter, and there may be another German car (VW, Porsche, Audi) that uses the same size splined ends that are available separately.  Might be worth a look...

Thanks for the answers guys. I’ll start by trying to find one from another vehicle that fits. Maybe I’ll get lucky. Saul at Maximillian  only has the  side I don’t need. Kinda pricy also.

If you find a source for those please let us know!

Sometimes, the new wiper pivots and connecting link arms will show up at Walloth Nesch.  I purchased all new parts for my 69 2002 from W-N.

 

One alternative site is parts.com.  You must search using only the BMW part number, not searching starting out with the car make, model and year.

 

The splined wiper arm end pieces are pressed onto the pivot.  Think you’d have a difficult time trying to R&R them.

At least on older American cars, those splined drums were removable.  They were either fastened with small Allen head set screws, or there was a small puller (Trico or Anco tool) to pull 'em off.  But I think Jim is correct, they may be hard to remove on those BMW arms without one of those small pullers, and even then maybe not.
