Wiper arm help

[Negative]

So, while I am working on my engine timing after replacing intake gaskets, I am doing some smaller "fix-its" that are needed on my truck.

The most important to me right now is the wiper arms. Living in the Great North West, I deal with rain about 300 days a year. Kind of need wipers. The driver side is perfect, I love it, it works great. The passenger side, well it's broken. The little roller piece that holds the arm extender in is broken so it slides up and down and the wiper blade flops around as it wipes. I tried to crimp it down as a temporary fix, but even that didn't work. So I am looking to replace the arm(s) I guess, but I can't find anything on replacement arms, nor how to replace them.

Anyone have any ideas?

are you wanting the arm or the blade holder. i am not sure what you mean by roller piece.

Are you talking about the splined thing you put the arm on?

There is the blade, which connects to a thin arm (I'll call it the forearm), which slides inside a larger arm piece with a spring inside (the bicep), which connects to the little motor that makes them go swoosh (the shoulder).

There is a little piece near the (elbow) that is attached to the bicep piece. This is broken, as well as the little nub that fits into the little hole that keeps the forearm in place.

So, in essence, I need to replace the forearm and the bicep pieces.

Hope that makes more sense. I am not real sure what the technical names of all the little pieces are called.

so its the wiper arm not the wiper linkage or the blade holder. those are on ebay alot of times. look for 67-72 73-79 and 78 79 bronco wiper arms on ebay or the pasts section on the site. the only one i have or had is scared up. i have no others.

Basically the only thing I don't need is the spring. I guess I could keep the old blade holder, but the nub that fits in the hole of the other part is gone as well, so... I probably should.

the little motor that makes them go swoosh (the shoulder). .

Found them at Napa, in case anyone is wondering. about 18 bucks per side. Works great.
