Title: how do i remove the whipper motor?
Post by: 87454westernhauler on December 20, 2010, 09:17:22 am: i have an 87 r10 chevy. i put a 79 front clip on it, and had to unbolt the whipper arm shafts. the mecanism and motor are all loose, but i need to to seperate the motor from the rest of the unit. i think loking at the back of the motor on the out put shaft the i just have to take a nut off of it, and can i use the same motor on a 79 meconism or do i need to put the motor from the 79 on it too? problem with that is that the 79 motor is bad. trying to be cheep.
