pwmin Posted December 10, 2005 Report Posted December 10, 2005 so, i pulled off the hose, took the caps off and removed the nuts, but im not sure how to get the wiper arms off. i pried on them a little and it seems like there is something else i need to do. how do i get them off? thx Quote
Crazy K Posted December 10, 2005 Report Posted December 10, 2005 You have the right idea. Nuts removed, and take a small flat blade screwdriver and alternately wiggle under each side ot the wiper arm. It will come off but it's a PITA. Quote
pwmin Posted December 10, 2005 Author Report Posted December 10, 2005 should i try some penetrating lube? nm, i got it. thx. just didnt want to break anything. Quote
Crazy K Posted December 10, 2005 Report Posted December 10, 2005 It's the first one always gets you! I put a dab of grease on when iIreinstall... just in case. any other issues? why you removing them? - Ken Quote
pwmin Posted December 10, 2005 Author Report Posted December 10, 2005 no other issues; just repainting them and cleaning up the cowl Quote

Yep, you can actually pull them off, but due to age, and the fact the haven't probably ever been off, you might want to try the screwdriver method. I know it was a PITA to get the ones off my Cavalier. Quote
DiscoStudd Posted December 10, 2005 Report Posted December 10, 2005 Try a small "jaw-type" puller. I'm talking the tiny ones they sell for removing battery cable clamps from the top-post batteries... Quote
pwmin Posted December 11, 2005 Author Report Posted December 11, 2005 they pried off, just being cautious. didnt think there was anything else i needed to do. thx for the help and the quick responses Quote
