Also replace the wiper arm. The shaft usually snaps when over tightening to
compensate for arm being worn out.

Hi Dana, welcome to Vanagons and the list.

Could you explain your situation a bit more fully?  If you're talking about
attaching the wiper arm to its shaft, the male thread is part of the shaft;
and the easiest way to deal with it stripping or breaking off is to drill
and tap the shaft for M6x1.  There's an article on GoWesty.com and some
recent list discussion - search the archives at www.gerry.vanagon.com for
windshield wiper repair since the beginning of August.

If that's not it, you'll have to amplify your description.

Yours,
David
