Yes - be careful of the fiber gear - do NOT soak it in
solvent. These things are unobtainium. Also, the tubular
shaft that holds the wiper shaft tends to get butted at the
end where it connects to the wiper shaft. A fine file and a
bit of patience filing the burr off will prevent it from
hacking up the bearings in the casting when you withdraw it
to clean the bearings.
Other than that, just common sense and good work habits.

I use a good all-purpose molybdenum grease - something that
won't urn to rock in winter temps. Amalie makes a good
grease for this. WHite lithium is too light in my opinion,
as is lubriplate. You want something with some staying
power in high temps.
