>Fellow Listers:
I turn once more for assistance.  My wipers on my 1975 TR6 stopped working.
 
I took the motor and drive out and in doing so only about six inches of the

cable which rides inside the tube came with it.  I assume it is broken and 
this is why my wipers do not move.  The problem is I am now left with the 
balance of the cable left inside the tube and no way to extract it.  A 
magnet does not do the trick.  I have tried approaching it through the
wiper 
housing on top of the cowl..no luck.  My manual shows that the tube runs
the 
full width of the dash.  Is it possible to extract this tube, cable and all

easily.  I need your help and suggestions.  Many thanks...again...

Not a problem, John, just remove both wipers and grab one of shafts and
rotate it until the cable pops out one side or the other.
