View Full Version : Removing wiper arms from posts
Any tips on removing the wiper arms from the wheel box posts? They have a spring clip that engages when you push it down far enough, I’ve been afraid to push it all the way on as it looks tough to get off.
Any tips appreciated

They make a tool to help with the spring clip but it’s still a pain

Be well worth getting that tool, if it really works.
I had to take mine off, prior to paint, and it was a friggin nightmare. I ended up breaking a piece out of the pot metal spine on the end of the shaft. Lousy design..

If I need to get mine off again I will make sure to apply some grease to the splines before I reinstall the wipers
