Question: How to fix the gear on the front windshield wiper

Question

Visitor, Kirkland, WA, April 23, 2011, 18:39

My driver side windshield wiper stopped working. The gear that the wiper blade fits on turns freely and it shouldn't. How do I fix the gear - I've been told something has just slipped and can be easily fixed?
