How am I gonna fix my wiprer arm, pls ???

[rapieper@yahoo.com (Ron Pieper)]

Well, at leaast a new arm is in order.  

The splines on the steel male taper often get clogged with aluminum
from the arm, so take a dental pick and clean every spline out
thoroughly.  I have not seen these steel splines wear, but I haven't
seen everything, and they may be worn. 

Stay away from the epoxy.  Loctite maybe, but expoxy no.
