......but my Mancard requires that I try to repair the vacuum wiper motor myself before I send it off to somebody else.

I totally understand that.
The problem is that there aren't real repair kits available, and Rob Fiken doesn't sell them (protecting his business, which I understand.) The only thing you can get is gaskets, but the seals on the paddle are typically what makes them next to impossible to repair. Even getting the paddle back in with the seals correctly oriented (even if they're intact) is problematic. I've tried and failed.
