ok i have popped the plastic top off the wiper and took the nut off the bolt. then took the three bolts that hold the wiper motor on but i still can not get the actual wiper to come off. i have read other posts and looked at a website with instructions. i tried pulling on it while wiggling it and nothing seems to work. am i missing a bolt or something? why cant i get this dang thing off? please help me out.

 

Ok, you've poped off the platic piece on top, removed the 12mm nut. How about that 23mm nut after that? Get that one? should be gravy from there...

 

Are you trying to remove the wiper arm? Or the entire wiper assembly (w/ motor)?

 

Lift the wiper UP OFF THE GLASS.. (like you are washing the window) Pull straight up.

 

i missed the 23mm nut....ill try to take it off tomorrow.
thanks for the help

 

hehe...

 

careful now, you might put one bolt back into the motor so when you pull the wiper off the motor doesn't fall.... Then go back and remove the bolt again

 

hehe and i was lifting it up off the glass .....just would help to have all the nuts off the wiper........duuuhhhhhhhhhh..........

 

cool. there have been alot of people pulling their asses of, only to try my technique...and it comes right off!!!

 

ill be sure to try the Chris-nique tomorrow

 

LOL!!

 

ok i just looked at the wiper today. do you guys cut that little black ring thing that is under the wiper arm to get to the 23mm nut? otherwise i dont see how you can get to the nut. unless i am going about it completely wrong.

 

Now that I think about it...the wiper comes off (with the 10mm??) and THEN there is a "cap" rubber/plastic piece that you have to pry up and then the big nut. I remember I pried under that thing and messed it up a little. But the nut is DEFINATELY UNDER the "cap" thingy!

So the wiper arm should come off without the 23mm nut, that just holds the motor up under the glass and maintains the seal.

 

i didn't have to cut anything, it should just come off.

 

ok. this is getting frustrating......i take the plastic top off then take off the 12mm nut then i try to pull the wiper off. the wiper blade is sticking straight up and i try to pull and pry the wiper arm off the car but its not moving i even tried using a screwdriver to pry it off. its like the wiper is still connected somehow. im outta ideas.

 

once you have the cap off and the first nut off, you just have to keep pulling. Try wiggling it while pulling straight up. It's a pain in the *** but it will come off. Before I removed the wiper/motor, I thought it was going to be a piece of cake but 3 things didn't want to part: the cap, the wiper arm and the 4 prong plug. Took some time and frustration but they all came off

 

i tried pulling and wiggling it too. i guess ill try it again tomorrow and see what happens.

 

Jesus...

 

did anyone else just cut that plug? or I am I the only one dumb enough not to figure it out?
