Thanks Steve for your continuous effort. I don't remember the what number I was when I joined, but I do remember when we were required to create a user name, and I was fortunate enough to get "2002"! It has been great fun and a great place to learn and share.
I'm looking for a company or an individual that could/would rebuild my '76 2002 wiper motor. It will likely need the magnets re-magnetized and maybe the armature re-wound. Does anyone have a contact that could help me out? And, yes I did a forum search and found no reference to a motor rebuilder.
I've heard there may be someone in the Los Angeles area - but since I'm in Northern CA can't find them.
Thanks!
Either return the caliper to RockAuto or split the caliper with a Torx driver and replace the two O-Rings with the right sized Buna N Rubber rings.

Matt,
You'll probably need to remove the front cover first, but it might be worth trying the rear cover first. Anyway you'll probably need a puller to get the rear cover off. Pay attention the locations of the 6mm bolts in the output flange. The shorter on goes in the 1 o'clock position.
Lever encircled in red is the one that controls the selection of reverse or 5th gear. The bolt extends through the to of the case. When my 5 speed was disassemble we found this piece in the bottom of the trans. Perhaps it is what makes the other gear grind. Looks like you'll have the take the whole thing apart to make sure. As you can see there is no part number listed for this on on:

Good luck!
When we rebuilt my 5 speed it was taken completely apart. We used a small chisel to remove the plug, and then used some thread sealant (see link below) on it to hold it in before applying a small hammer to it!
