Installing Wiper Refill on my 98
Recently installed carbon fibre wiper arms and now have to install wiper blade holder in CF so things match. I am certain others have done this, would appreciate any tips on how to remove and reinstall both the wiper blade and that portion of the arm which holds the blade. Appreciate he help and thanks.

I remove and install wiper blades on a daily basis. A lot of the GM vehicles use the "J-Hook" style blade. These are what I have to say the easiest of all blades. If you have a normal standard blade there will be a small plastic tab on the underside of the blade that you depress and simply slide the blade assembly off. Sometimes they can be a little stubborn and require a little force.
Be extra careful with leaving your wiper arm in the upright position without a blade assembly on there. If the arm falls you can risk cracking your windshield. Throwing a towel under there or just lowering the arm itself before you put the next blade on is a good idea.
And those PDFs posted above are good reference also. Especially on how to replace just the rubber blade portion itself.
