Because I had a stuck wiper I disassembled the dash (after 7 times i got quiet good at it
 ) and got the wiper assembly out. Everything was full of gunk so i thought to give everything a good clean and fresh Grease. But i can’t get the gear out of the wiper motor. Just bang harder Or is there a clever tip?

I don't think the big gear can be easily removed. When I last did one, I flushed it with degreaser in situ. Darren

Is this particular to newer vehicles? I know I've had one out of a Tdi-era Defender before. I don't remember any problems with that. Donald

The one that I did was from a '92 Defender and looked pretty much identical to the OP's:

Oh well, I'm afraid I can't help any further then.
I know I had mine removed because I had to relocate the nylon 'ramp' which activates the wiper stop switch (I think there are two places it can fit on the drive cog). I don't remember any real issues at all. I assume I removed the circlip on the wiring side, and tapped it through.

It looks to me like it's a press fit with a bearing in the outer housing, you would need a puller but as the fitting likely would have had the pressure applied to the centre of the gear I'd be concerned a puller putting force on the outer edges of the gear would bend it being weaker towards the extremity.
I'd would go with what LRA mentioned, and leave it in situ and flush it out and re-grease. Diesel$ Live$ Matter. ⛽️🛢️👨🔧🧰⚙️ RED, WHITE & BOOST! 🇬🇧 |

Earlier models had the gear retained by a circlip - looks like they've moved to a press-fit shaft.

I replaced the 1987 motor in my mini with a later unbranded version (2004)that looks very much like yours, and i'm sure the lucas version just pushed out, But that was 15 years ago since I did that. I don't think there made my lucas anymore anyway. 1953 80"

Done it in situ.
Next question. The new cable is longer than the old one. What to do? Leave it Or grind it? Click image to enlarge a defender from 1984 pretending to be a puma with a touch of Range Rover |

Maybe do you a swap if you can wait?? I bought a new one for my car - and it's too short! It was one of those 'this part has been superceded by...' things, so I just bought the latest one and it's too short for a Tdi.
It's unmolested in its packet....?

No worries! I appreciate that you'll want the car back together. Believe me, I can sympathise with that! Donald
