How do you remove the wiper blades on a mid C-3? I have a 76, and am trying to install that cowl/ cover....just need to get the wipers off to get the dang thing on properly!

thanks!!

The wiper blades or the entire arm? The arm is pressed onto a splined shaft, you might need a special wiper arm tool to remove them easily.

I thought that there was a little piece of $hit metal tab (part of the arm itself) that needs to be pressed one way or the other while you pry on the arm itself in a upward (OFF) motion, but I very well may be wrong, Peace,,, Moosie
