The 1942 shop manual body lubrication chart says windshield wiper shaft, light oil. Picture shows it from the outside. I have no idea as to how it can be done as the shaft is covered up by the knob the blade mounts on....if you can get at it do oil the shaft although I have never seen it done. Gene Schneider
