245 front windshield wiper drive arm cable eccentric lobe connection

In replacing the WW motor, my daughter moved the ww arms from the outside to resposition the stop location of the blades which caused the cable to come off the drive lobe of the passenger side internal drive eccentric lobe.

I had the glove box out to replace the motor but I am pulling my hair out to figure how to rethread the dirve arm cable on to the eccentric lobe. The cable has as small threaded nut at one end. Should this be removed to thread the cable and then reconnect?

How do you get access?

HELP. I am frustrated and have spent too many hours on this. Has anyone gone through this issue? Can you offer suggestions?

I would appreciate any help.

Thanks

Allan

BTDT.

As I recall, I was able to reposition the cable onto the eccentric pulley by rotating the pulley (both pullies) all the way to one extreme. I might have removed the wiper arms to facilitate that -- don't remember -- and this might have permitted the pulley to rotate past its normal "stop" position.

I also temporarily removed the linkage from the pulley to the wiper motor to give me access.

The small threaded shaft and nut are used to adjust the tension in the cables. I suppose one way to reposition a cable is to completely remove the tension, reinstall the cable, and then reapply the tension. I didn't face that type of problem (my eccentric pulley fell off the wiper shaft).

The whole thing was so painful I've almost completely purged it from my memory banks.
