How to Remove Wiper Arm?

[Mr. Unknown]

I've got one of those chilton/hanes manuals and it says remove theclip at the base. Well im pulling on the thing with pliers and it wont come out. Does anyone know how to get the wiper arm off?

Lift the wiper up first then pull the clip, you should not need pliers at all.

Hmmm I've done that and it doesnt work, do I really have to pull it?

 

[Flatliner]

I normally extend the wiper as much as you can and if the clip won't come out I slide a flat head to jimmy it but it should work.

You can just pull the arm up a couple inchs and wiggle it off the 'shaft'

Big fucking hammer?

Yes...

Lift the wiper arm all the way and lift the little tab near the base, right where the wiper arm meets the shaft coming out of the cowl cover. It should slide right off.

No prying or BFH's should be needed.

Do i push up on the tab or try to slide it out towards the windshield?

 

[Flatliner]

I was cranking on the thing felt like it was gonna break. Ill try again. If it doesnt work im standing in the hood and riping the wiper arm off.
