Default removing Windsheild wiper arms?

Well it seems that my arms do not want to come off the shafts. I applied some BP Breaker but still no go. I did not pry too hard on them for the fact I did not want to bugger them up. Looks like a small gear puller would work but I do not have one, any ideas guys?


Cheers,
Jim

Default Lift the blades up from the windshield. The pressure from the spring in the blades will

cause the wiper to be "stuck". If it is up completely wiggle it around abit and should come off

Default Put fingers behind it, wiggle it, it will come off. They rust pretty easily, more so

if you've lost that stupid plastic condom covey thingy...

Default Cracked mine while washing. Wiper (With blade on) dropped on it, and craaaaaack all

the way across the glass from left to right. I was gonna replace it but, seeing there are NO emission laws in Michigan I am not.

I love that I don't have to pass any stupid inspection..

Nice MI!
