Wipers frozen to screen this morning
Applied de icer
Thought blades were free
Start engine, wipers. They werent free. Wipers launch off with a thwang. Linkage breaks.

The link (pivot bearing) thats broken is on RH side, (on my UK RHD e34, its the last link, connecting the drive shaft from motor to the small arm at base of wiper spindle). From the top, it has a flat topped soft grey metal cap with rounded edges; on the arm underneath, theres a rubber boot and a domed protrusion which points up and obviously is designed to locate into the metal cap. Picture is like that on this link borrowd from bmwe32 website.

(NB the diagram on the realoem site seems to be that for a LHD car as my RHD seems different).

Question: can i replace/fix the single broken link or have I to go through the agony of replacing whole damned mechanism? If single link can be replaced, how is it done? P/N? If not how is mech replaced on 92 e34 M50tu RHD...?

Thanks...
