<VV> LM windshield wiper motor question

[Jim McLott]

Many thanks to the people who replied to my question about removing the
4-lobed cam.  It turns out that brute force was the answer after all,
since I don't have a gear puller that small.

Subject: <VV> LM windshield wiper motor question

How do I remove the 4-lobed cam that drives the windshield washer from a
1966 two-speed wiper motor?  The shop manual says "Drive cam can be
pried off with using suitable tool (fig. 31)."  I've tried screwdrivers
and a pry bar with no success.  I've even tried dousing it with
penetrating oil, but no luck.  Is there some trick or "suitable tool" I
need to know about or is more brute force all that's needed?  (As Daddy
used to say, "If brute force doesn't work, you're not using enough of
it.")
 
Thanks,
