The gear assembly is located on the rear of the wiper motor, and is responsible for driving the wiper arm back and forth. The gear assembly consists of two gears, a larger gear that is driven by the motor, and a smaller gear that drives the wiper arm. The gears are made of plastic, and are held together by a series of clips.
To remove the gear assembly, you will need to remove the wiper arm and motor. Once the motor is removed, you can access the gear assembly by removing the clips that hold it together. Be careful not to lose any of the clips, as they are small and easy to lose.
Once the gear assembly is removed, you can inspect the gears for wear or damage. If the gears are worn or damaged, they will need to be replaced. To replace the gears, simply insert the new gears into the assembly and secure them with the clips.
Reinstall the gear assembly onto the wiper motor, and then reinstall the motor and wiper arm. Test the wiper motor to make sure that it is working properly.
