Default wiper arm removel question....

service manual says that once you get the nut off you need a special tool to remove the arm.

Can I just pry the arm off or is there a trick?

Thanks!

i just removed mine today, tap with a hammer around where you took nut off, this loosens them, they are just corroded on. cover with a rag first if you are scared of leaving a mark on it. just dont cover to much, dont want to miss.

A small shot of PB Blaster will help with the removal.

My wiper arms would not come off to save my life! I went to the local hardware store and purchased a puller for removing faucet *****. I did have to modify the tool slightly. This thing works like a charm!
