the paint on my wiper arms is chipping off. i want to remove them, bead blast and repaint. my question, is there more than one nut holding them on? i removed the top nut and gave it a slight yank and they didn't budge.

i have no doubt they have been on for the ten years the car has been around, so they might be stuck. but before i jerked them off of there i wanted to be sure i wouldn't break anything.

 

haha..jerk off.

you asked for it
i honestly dunno the answer to your question, but good way to get my attention.

 

you just pull it up. I found it works good to flip the actual wiper blade up and that motion will force it up and it will come off.

yeah i figured that would get some attention, thanks anyway.

 

yeah, just rub one off... I mean.... yank it up.

 

glad you got the answer to your question cause i was actually wanting to paint mine again too. theyre all chipped.

 

thanks for the help

 

The wiper arm has to be in the up position to pull it off of the spline gear. I painted mine and it turned about perfect. I ran into the same problem though and it took me a couple minutes to figure it out.

 

yeah if they are on the glass there is tension and they wont come off so just flip them up and remove

hahaha, yeah, one nut, its on a spline so be sure to make a mark on the window as to line the wiper back up on the spline

It is very important to mark the origianl postion of the wiper blade. If you do ont then it will be very difficult to line back up correctly, take it from experience.

 

i jerked off, uh.. i mean i jerked THE WIPER ARMS off, thanks for the help

 

hehe, whatever, that' just too much jerkin!
