I know it sounds stupid, but I found a B-body in a JY with 3 speed wipers. So I was going to grap the switch and motor to upgrade my car. No longer taking $h!t from anyone!

I already have the nut unscrewed and the harness plug off, but I can't get the knob to come off. Is there a trick to it? I couldn't find a button on the switch like the headlight switch has.

The 71 setup looks like this, 2822289 Crank Arm and 3431102 Drive Link. The 72 setup looks like this, 3431515 Crank Arm and 3431518 Drive Link. The Crank Arms and Drive Links must be used as a matched set.

Is there a trick to it? I couldn't find a button on the switch like the headlight switch has. Knob is push-on fit to switch shaft, unlike headlight switch, which is integral to the shaft. Wiper knob is held on by spring clip integral to knob. Just pull it off the shaft. There is no release to the shaft from switch assembly like there is on the headlight switch.

Its from a 'standard' dash cluster. PM me if interested. John The dream is dead, long live the dream.......😥

NOOOOOOOOO!!! Knob is push-on fit to switch shaft, unlike headlight switch, which is integral to the shaft. Wiper knob is held on by spring clip integral to knob. Just pull it off the shaft. There is no release to the shaft from switch assembly like there is on the headlight switch. If it is a ralley dash it IS NOT a push-on fit! it is as Charger440sixpak stated held on by small Allan head set screw. Last edited by 71 Charger R/T; 12/02/10 03:47 PM.

I did try simply pulling on it, but I didn't try to hard because I didn't want to break anything. No longer taking $h!t from anyone!
