A two member stripping device has a pivotable stripping finger and a mounting bracket for supporting the pivotable stripping finger in stripping engagement with a photoreceptor, the mounting bracket having two spaced parallel integrally molded support arms with male pivot bearing surfaces for pivotally supporting the stripping finger, the male bearing surfaces being oppositely faced toward each other on the interior of the arms; the stripping finger having integrally molded a stripping tip at one end, a pivoting ballast at the opposite end connected by a web member which has female pivot bearing surfaces between the finger and the ballast in the shape of cups on each side of the web for pivotal engagement with the male bearing surfaces, the extension of the female bearing surfaces extend axially beyond the operating bearing surfaces as a protective shield for the bearing surfaces.
