Wiper arm removal… Don’t laugh!

[Snoots]

That’s kind of what I was doing. I’m letting it soak per previous suggestions. I have a knack for pulling too hard and breaking stuff on accident.

Whut happened wif dis?

Same thing that’s happened with the rest of the truck for the last several days...nada!

There’s this damn annoyance in life called work that seems to creep up every now and then, lol. Between that, and the spring/livestock related chores, I’ve been slammed sun up to sun down. I’m going to resoak with pb, and maybe get to it tomorrow afternoon. I’ve almost turned the corner on this project and starting to get excited again. Maybe a week of evenings left painting and it’s onto the fun stuff.

Yea. That work stuff always gets in the way.

I took the arms off my '86 a few times and thought what a pain it was. I went online and found this from Snap On. There are a few different ones on the market but I figured Snap On has a good reputation for tools. You simply hook it on and squeeze and the arm comes right off. I'm talking seconds. Give it a try:

• Do not use on wiper arms bolted to the shaft

Gee whiz! You think!?

You get it off yet? Mine I put a chunk of wood down beside the stem then used a pry bar. My Chilton manual says to lift on the wiper arm then pry it off the post.

Yeah, I got it. @Craig 85 was right. It was ****-eyed. I carefully tapped it back down with a soft rubber mallet and it pulled right off.
