Reply to "Seeking advice concerning removal of the cable from the Pantera windshield wiper motor"

I also had to destroy a wiper spacer to remove one that was galvanized in place.  I purchased a replacement through a vendor and in hindsight wish I had simply bought an appropriate diameter hollow aluminum rod on line and cut it to match the length and required angle.  That was what the vendor had done with the replacement piece that I was provided. Lesson learned
